What is the best way to load my kiln?

Loading: Flatware

It is best to fire a piece in its natural position, however, large flat items such as wall plaques or clocks should be fired on a flat side to prevent warpage.
When loading your kiln, place your shelves in the kiln carefully so the walls of the kiln will not be bumped and damaged.
Do not jar or shake your kiln after the loading has started since the ware on a shelf could be knocked down or broken.
