Description:A 'placer' loading cranks full of ware into a gas fired kiln. This is the final stage of firing after all transfers and glazes have been added. The ware is placed into cranks that 'space' the ware so that the heat is dispersed properly. Filling a kiln to maximum capacity was a job that demanded experience.
