Kiln Firing |
In the spring of 2006 we decided to build a wood fired kiln. The design was copied from another local potter and professor at the local college. |
Date: 01/01/2007 |
We leveled out an area and poured a concrete slab so there was a level area to work on. The kiln required nearly two thousand fire bricks to construct. The kiln is approximately 13 feet long by 3 feet wide and 3 feet 6 inches tall. The chimney is 8 feet high. The kiln is built by simply stacking the fire bricks dry (without mortar). |
