2009 marks the completion of the building and first firing of our superb new kiln -Our Bhava ULTRAEA. What a terrific and successful collaborative adventure.

My kiln partners Susanne Ashmore, Diane Burt and I are grateful for the opportunity to work together with potter and kiln builder Cameron Stewart, whose great strength, experience, masonry skills, and good humor sustained us throughout the year it took to build our two chamber 72 cubic foot Cat-arch Wood-Soda kiln.

Our first firing was fantastic, and the joy of our teamwork and mutual support is a great gift that will continue to grow for us all as we continue to fire together through the years.
