My new kiln

It seems there is always something new going on at my Pottery but once again I have some very exciting news! I am going to be the first studio potter in Canada to get a Blaauw kiln. Blaauw kilns are the only fully automated, computer-controlled gas kilns available today. They are the cutting edge in kiln technology and are energy efficient as well. I have wanted a gas kiln since I was a teenager. There is a huge difference in the kinds of glazes and effects you can get when you are firing with gas, and I am excited to begin my explorations. With this kiln, I can program in the exact amount of reduction/oxidation I want while firing, and can repeat the firings. It is going to be the biggest learning curve that I have ever embarked upon in my work.
