My Creative Marathon started on January 1, 2016, when I began doing a daily creative activity following a prompt from a book. This blog is a catalog each step of my creative marathon, 365 days and beyond. My marathon can also be followed on Instagram @rm.hansen

Vol. 3, No. 340, December 6, 2018
3340 - Thrice Fired.
Yesterday was my last time of running the kiln for the quarter, so I decided to get my projects glazed. I reglazed the large bowl for the 3rd time. To try and counteract the bright green of the last firing, I went with a brick red this time. As I pulled the bowl out of the kiln this morning, I decided the color of the glaze was okay, and then I saw the giant crack. I'm not sure if the clay had just had enough or if I opened the kiln too soon, but either way, the bowl had met its end. After snapping a quick picture, I smashed the bowl in the garbage can. Let me tell you, it was rather exhilarating!
