I’ve been continuing excavation of the front area of the kiln, preparing it for the kiln building workshop in October. About 10 inches down, there’s a seam of clay that runs through our whole yard, and this gives me a good excuse to collect some for making pots. I posted text and pictures to the kiln workshop blog already, so I’ll just link to it from here:
