After 2 kiln failures that overfired and ruined several things, I re-calibrated the Kiln-Sitter that is supposed turn the kiln off when the proper temp is reached. I have fired it several times since then and seems to be working now. So here's the re-attempt at my volcano. 9 inches in diameter at the base, 7 inches tall, holds about 40 ounces. Hammerhead shark in the blue epoxy water, "fat lava" style glaze running down the side, palm trees are done in Duncan French Dimensions (a raised glaze that comes in a squeeze bottle) I hope to make "smoke" out of a gray acrylic sheet and attach 2 acrylic tube straws. I made a basic form plaster mold for this so I can make more if I want to.
