Description   Building Your Own Kiln: Three Japanese Potters Give Step-By-Step Instructions (Paperback) Building Your Own Kiln: Three Japanese Potters Give Step-By-Step Instructions (Paperback) Author: Hiromi Itabashi, Naoki Kawabuch, Roppo Tamura i Translator: Lucy North Sure to be welcomed by potters at all levels, from beginners to professionals, Building Your Own Kiln details how to build a small kiln quickly, efficiently, and economically. This inspiring book includes all of the information necessary to build your own single-chambered gas kiln, with an interior of about two square feet. This small kiln is modest and easy to use and unlike larger kilns that can handle hundreds of pieces at once, it is designed to hold only about twenty pieces, making it perfect for the small-scale work of a hobbyist, as a test kiln or a second kiln for the professional ceramicist. In addition, Building Your Own Kiln includes discussions on building and firing techniques for two varieties of wood-firing kilns. Though larger than most, the snake kiln (an unusual, very old type of kiln that originated in Korea) allows for a slow, gentle firing and working with natural glazes for remarkable effect. The anagama kiln (a single-chambered cross-draft kiln) also quite large, allows the potter to work with different types of glazes. The unique construction and firing processes of each of these three types is described in depth by experienced, well-known potters who have built and fired in each type of kiln. Building Your Own Kiln also includes detailed photographs and diagrams that illuminate the text throughout. This book provides the perfect starting place for anyone interested in firing their own pottery on their own schedule.
