What's New?
- My kiln set up
is now done! I have a heavy duty garbage bin for sawdust firing, a pit dug out for pit firing and most excitingly my
raku kiln.
- The raku kiln
has been made from plumbing part and parts from old heaters. It rests on a base of cement and ceramic bricks.
The cover is made from mesh wire and ceramic insulation fibre.
- Local potter Andrew
Quient has agreed to help me by bisquing my pieces at a very reasonable fee. The firing begins July 26. Once the
pieces are fired I'm going to start right in on testing my new kiln!!!!!
- I now have my
clay, 50 lbs. of white low-fire raku stone ware, thanks to Amherst Pottery Supply. I have two heavy duty garbage cans
that will serve as a raku kiln and a container for sawdust firings.
- Two plans are
being examined and will be narrowed down to one final kiln design. It's all going to come down to availible parts.
- Thanks to Cowls
Sawmill in Amherst for providing sawdust for this project.
