Can you hear that? That’s the sound of progress—the roar of the first kiln firing of 2026!
Things are officially heating up at Unity Pond Pottery, and the Natural Mans are front and center for the action.
For some of the Natural Mans, this is a brand-new experience.
Having been born just this year, they’re witnessing their very first firing.
It’s a bit of a shock to the system, but they’re taking it in stride, knowing there are likely eight more of these intense sessions to go before the year is through.
As for the rest of the Brotherhood?
Well, it is winter, after all.
Most of the Natural Mans are doing what they do best this time of year: sleeping.
They’re tucked away in the cozy corners of the Asylum, letting the kiln do all the hard work while they catch up on their rest.
But for those of us (and the clay) who are awake, the energy is electric. The fire is high, the kiln is humming, and the first batch of 2026 is on its way to perfection.
