Kiln Gods are, I think, a way of focusing your attention on the load, the proper setting up, and the firing itself. When most of the work comes before the firing, it's easy to slack off and feel like you are done when you get them into the kiln. But that's when you can mess up things! Luck in firing happens best when you are diligent.
Here is my Kiln God, who protects the ware and watches over the firing. He's a 'Hammy', sculpted by Sarah Minkiewicz-Breunig, who is the sculptor of the three pieces in the firing tonight. So he will take extra pride in his work.
