Class outline

This class will be a hands on learning experience of how to build, maintain, pack and fire a fast fire wood kiln. Participants will bring bisqued work to fire and over the three days, Fred will discuss and demonstrate all of the intricacies of these types of kilns. Students will leave with sound knowledge and the plans of how to build this type of kiln in their studios.
