As promised, here is a follow up to the Sunday morning entertainment.
Unfortunately, the piece you saw on the video, made a rather alarming crack after I took it out of the kiln. (If you didn't see the video, check the previous post.) With all of this lid opening-closing going on, I can hardly wonder. The temperature dropped quite a lot each time.
Trial no 1
So I redid it and stripped the process of any non-crucial details. I was left with three moves in the kiln and an annealing period of 20 C/h. As it often happens, this time again, less is more. And yet it conveys much better what I wanted to express.
