About my kilns


I fire in electric, gas and wood kilns, as well as in an outdoor pit. Electric kilns aren't very exciting to photograph but here are the others. These are all fun to fire; I think firing this little wood kiln is the greatest fun in the world. We fire it to cone 8 in three hours or so. Then again, my brother the neurosurgeon thinks poking around in people's brains is the greatest fun in the world. Everybody has their own idea of fun!
