#186 - Learning to fire your kilns


Listen Later

Ryan & Becca talk about kilns today after getting a listener question recently. They go into how and where they learned to fire their kilns initially, from manual kiln sitter kilns to ones with electronic controllers. There are lots of places to find resources today with the depth of knowledge on YouTube, Facebook forums, online publications, and plenty of other places. We hope you enjoy the convo and learn something, even if you're a seasoned veteran to firing kilns.

What would you do if...
your glaze runs off of your pot and fuses the entire thing to the kiln shelf with/without kiln wash?
