I’m so excited. I have a kiln now. It was delivered to the lower level of my studio Yesterday. I bought it used from a co-workers mother. I know nothing about using a kiln but will have fun learning. I envision experimenting with glass and firing some pottery. I can create sculptures, wall ornaments, cookie jars, cool mugs and plates. Oh my.. okay but first thing first - I need a 220 outlet installed. The electrician will be here in the morning to assess the situation. I probably should get a book on the subject- kilns and pottery that is. I’ll have to talk to Deidre Hunt with the Artisan’s Circle in Lansing as well. She holds classes as do a couple others through the Shiawassee Art Center in Owosso. Oh I could make jewelry. Do hear hear the wheels in my head spinning?

The woman I bought it from warned me on the phone numerous times, “It’s ugly!” I had to laugh. As long as it works that’s all that matters to me. I bought it sight unseen. She was right it is ugly but I’m so excited it awesome to me. It stands about hip height. She said it’s big enough to do a good amount but not so big you feel like yo can’t fire it up because you don’t have enough to fill it. Click here to see more about my new kiln.
