STATUS: Alimited trial begins without replacing the older record. The current arrangement remains in place at the common ceramic kiln at Reed Terrace.

RECORD: the firing board and the makers’ clay readiness cards. The count is 72 firings started within the posted window; the prior window recorded 78.

DISPUTE: The old schedule alternates by week. Makers say clay readiness can change with the drying room temperature.

OUTCOME: The hearing is still open and no permanent rule has changed.

NEXT: The Year third, budbreak window 3 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The kiln group will compare readiness cards with actual cooling times before changing turns.
