John had the steel work for the arches bent
to keep the
lines of the kiln intact, a wonderful choice. |
Arches of kiln are made of insulating brick |

Connecting tube brings flue from kiln to outdoor chimney. A
few months after Robert & Christine took this photo, the studio burned to
the ground. A few pieces of wood inadvertently left leaning on the
connection flue caught fire hours after the kiln firing was finished. This
kiln was unaffected but the building was totally destroyed. |
Three chambers with firebox. |
|
Much of John's work is left unglazed (liner glazes on
insides of forms) with just a touch of flashing for the finished effect. |
