LATEST NEWS:

 

Since 'Kiln Construction' was written Joe has built a number of different kilns.

- For the Midland Potters Association, a continuous raku kiln.

- For Deborah Baynes an oil fired salt kiln.

- For Ray Finch a natural gas salt kiln.

- During the 2007 Aberystwyth Potters Festival a 'green chip oil' kiln (fired on the waste oil from the local chip shops and simple angle-iron drip feed burners.)

- In February 2008 has built three gas fired soda kilns for the new training workshop at the St. Ives Pottery.

Joe's new book Kiln Construction serves as a guide to kiln building in a user-friendly way. It offers a thorough grounding in the basics and then examines three kilns in depth, brick by brick. These designs, showing gas, oil and wood-fired kilns, have been thoroughly tried and tested and are in regular use by well-known potters. Each of the kilns has diagrams and photos showing every step along the way.

 

Now available from publishers A & C Black.

If there is a need Joe intends to produce other designs in the future so would appreciate feedback from potters indicating the size and fuel type they would be interested in.
