This James W Scoville building Elmslie “Sullivanesque” sculpture is now out of the kiln, it is still about 200 degrees and had to be handled with gloves, it turned out perfect!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nOne can see the color change in photos from the previous dry\/unfired state and now that it’s been fired to a little over 2,079 degrees, actually cone 2 tipped because I added a 15 minute “hold” at the set temperature, but because of the “heat work” it went a little higher, but the result is better and the color is nice and even top to bottom, whereas in the past the very bottom of large pieces like this would turn out slightly lighter due to slightly lower temperatures near the floor of the kiln.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A Virginia museum\u00a0 has an original, that one still has the old grey paint slathered all over it but the red clay underneath can be seen.<\/p>\n

Someone has one they have been trying to sell for quite a while for $5,000 !!<\/p>\n
