I once helped with a kiln in the summer. You had to go out to the little building in the predawn dark to start the firing and it lasted for more than a day.

Few things are as exciting and yet soothing and starting a kiln in the cold morning after crossing frosty grass.

It's both the beginning and the end of so much work.

But before you know it? You are listening to the sounds of cooling and asking over and over "can we open it NOW?" because you are a child and don't know how to wait.
