I'm in the same boat and hopefully everyone finishes today. We have 3 weeks
to go. I'm going to run the kiln this weekend and store the drying
greenware
on shelves near it. After drying for 8-9 days, I will load the kiln.
Then, I will run
the kiln on low with the lid cracked open for 24 hours. The next day I
shut the
Lid and start the full firing. O yes, pray to the clay gods too.
