In those early startup days of Fantasy In Glass.
And money was tight in those early days- we didn't have the opportunities we have today, like selling the naming rights to our building to the SwissCheesed GlassWerks Company.
As a matter of fact things were so hard that we could never afford wieners in our Mac'n'Cheese.
But that kiln.
It ran day and night, like a Swiss clock, unfailing, unrelenting, ever persistent, never asking for anything but the occasional dusting to show off its blue paint.
And work it hard we did (yes, Zenia, maybe even harder than you).
That blue monster fired painted glass for windows that ended up in churches all across the country. Heck, they even published a book on our work using this kiln for St. Basil's Basilica in Edmonton.
But alas, that dutiful, sweet, gentle Denver Blue Kiln is no more.
It died today.
But despair not. We have very exciting news pending...

Truly the end of an era.
mine died a few weeks ago and it was easily fixed for little money. are you not going to fix the beast?
The kiln doesn't owe us anything, and due to the age, other things will likely fail soon. Besides, I now can afford wieners in my Mac'n'Cheese and therefore another new kiln...
I think you should get one of those so-big-you-can-drive-a-car-into-it kilns that Denver sells.
