#kiln

I just found out about #Kiln Share—an app that allows you to find people in your area who will let you fire #ceramics in their kiln at low cost. If you don’t already have a membership, ceramics studios often charge a crazy amount per piece to fire, so this is great. I’m going to list my kilns later today. I see that there’s one other shared kiln in my town. I’m curious who they are and I’m interested to see how this may connect me to other ceramic artists in my area.

I have a #RocketKiln that fires using scrap wood but I've never heard of a traditional wood fire kiln using scrap wood to fire. Typically, people either chop their own over the course of a year or buy cords of wood which can be very expensive. Josh DeWeese, a well-known ceramic artist, shows his wood fired kiln in this video that uses throwaway wood from local cabinet makers who are happy to give it to him rather than pay to dump it. https://ceramicartsnetwork.org/clayflicks/clayflicks-video/Wood-Firing-and-Studio-Tour-with-Josh-DeWeese #ceramics #kiln #pottery
