STUDIO - A cautionary tale

The roof of the kiln.

Broken element.

As a student you hear cautionary tales all the time... I think every ceramicist lives in fear of the kiln breaking down on the run up to an exhibition! It won't possibly happen to me!! And then... pop! The roof of the kiln lifts off & an element breaks! Not what I need right now but hopefully someone can come & look at it in Friday (regretting my lack of element changing knowledge)... all other kilns in town seems pretty booked out due to North Yorkshire Open Studios... Ho hum....
