@Totalanimefan: 24 hours for the whole batch, since my kiln holds a huuuuuuge number of pieces, especially if I'm making tiny stuff. It's still a long time, and then there's all the days or weeks that go into a piece even before it gets to the kiln. A lot of what you're paying for when you buy ceramic art is labor and expertise (skills & knowledge), just like with paintings.
The materials aren't cheap collectively, but when you break down the cost of everything that goes into a single piece, it's not that bad. And I'm good at finding kilns and equipment like that at incredible deals, so that helps. But the labor aspect is pretty large, even when I'm casting things from molds (which I make myself because I don't want to cast stuff that isn't wholly mine.)
I love trees and flowers, so I always try to cover my AC towns in them. I don't have a switch, and I don't plan to buy one or the new AC for a while, but I am enjoying seeing screenshots from the new game.
@Lithium: planning Halloween sounds like a fun activity, especially when it's still months away and you have time to dream big
