Publisher's Synopsis
You might ask yourself why you should bother taking the time to build your own kiln at home. It does take a lot of work and planning to get the best kiln in the best place in your yard. However, a homemade kiln does let you play around with lots of pottery projects and fire them in your own time. It gives you the space to finish larger items than you would be able to make in tabletop kilns.
This book is a fully illustrated guide on Kiln Building. This Kiln, based on the brick kiln, has been tested in several locations, and has proved very efficient indeed, reaching very high temperatures, and capable of being fired both quickly and very slowly, and leaving a virtually ash-free firebox at the end!
For the potter who likes to plow his or her own furrow, and who, although welcoming help from friends with firings, prefers not to have to rely on a team in order to get their work finished.
