1993-Present Car
Kiln
One of two Raku kilns at Robert's studio.
The car kiln was designed so it can be opened and unloaded by one person |
 |
|
Since the cart comes out of the chamber,
it is a distance from the kilns heat mass
and can be easily approached.
|
|
The Car Kiln can be unload from three sides. |

1996-Present
Top Hat
Rarely are Raku kilns built with a consideration of beauty.
Function is the key work in Raku and that usually means how easily can
it be unloaded when hot and how convenient it can be reloaded for
a
subsequent
Raku Firing
|
 |
A counter weight means it can be opened by one person
and then closed to hold the heat |

Robert's Top Hat Kiln can be unloaded from all four sides. |
