Do you remember the joys of using a kiln sitter? Those mini cones were so cute until you dropped one in the bottom of a fully loaded kiln. Even though manufacturers have shifted to computer controlled models, sitters were a key part of electric kilns for decades.

Rose also reads a hilarious story about a clay plasticity experiment gone wrong. Do you have questions or need advice on glazes?
