Question 48

The first firing

The kiln had been running since dawn when I entered the ceramics studio. Heat pressed against my face as soon as the door opened. Above the workbench, the extractor rattled without pause. The technician used a long-handled tool to move a test tile, then checked its colour before closing the kiln again.

From the passage, select two words or phrases that describe how the studio feels and sounds while the kiln is running.
