You will never outgrow a small kiln. If you
later buy a larger kiln, continue to use the small one for testing or
small projects. Perfect a new design in the small kiln before running
production quantities in the large kiln. A small test kiln is
invaluable in solving ceramic glaze problems and perfecting difficult
glazes such as crystallines.
The heat of the kiln is magical and offers
wonderful surprises. Ceramic glazes undergo a complete transformation
in the kiln. Opening a kiln to view your treasures is a festive moment
that you will never outgrow. Artists have said, “Woohooo! Opening a
kiln is a celebration!”
The Furniture Kit
The furniture kit consists of carefully
selected fireclay shelves and posts for this particular model. When
estimating the price of the kiln, include the cost of furniture. The
furniture allows you to stack multiple layers of ware. Without it, you
could fire only the ware that would fit on the kiln bottom.
