Building the dragon had to occur from head to tail - vertically

Balancing the creature to its firing spot

 
Before "dressing" the ceramic fiber mat around

 
The "convertible" kiln is placed around the animal

 
the fire is lit

 
The next morning - opening the kiln

  
In horizontal position, at last

The "All-in-one" self content creature was also fired in the above kiln

The "Blue Rider" was fired in a paper kiln

Here it stands on the gallows

The sculpture is immersed in wood

covered with cardboard, filled with saw dust and then

pasted with newspaper that is dipped in mud

When dry - a day later - the lair is ready to be fired

to allow more oxygen a few openings are cut at the lower part of the kiln

Uncalled for holes, though, have to be sealed with more newspaper

The wrapping kiln collapses

and from the ruins emerge the blue (?!) rider

Some of my works are fired in the Raku technique

back to my dream month in Moldova
