The kiln here runs once a week. It is shut on Friday night and lit on Saturday morning, so six days pass before she can touch her own work again. One shelf goes in at a time, and she always fills it with her own pieces, because when one bursts it takes its neighbors with it. The same bowl always turns up on the second board of the drying rack: a thick foot ring, four fingermarks still pressed into it, and no name tag. This week she collapsed a piece while trimming its foot, so her shelf is one short.
