Aven Rowe opens the firing board and the makers’ clay readiness cards at the common ceramic kiln at Reed Terrace. Before anyone changes a mark, the crew checks two makers need the same slow cooling period for different clay bodies. The rest season period sets the pace of the work.
The page holds 66 firings started within the posted window. Aven Rowe reads the preceding count, 69, before the next line is entered. A number without a date would not tell the next crew what changed.
The old schedule alternates by week. Makers say clay readiness can change with the drying room temperature. Here the difference is visible between the posted rule and the route, service or shift just beyond the door.
The council records a decision for this site and review window. The board recorded the outcome that it adopted a revised schedule for the next measured window.
The shift closes with the source page attached to the board. The next file uses a new date and scope.
