KILN DESIGN: STUDIO/KILNS

The large 10' x 22' anagama kiln with a 5' ceiling height was built in 1982 using a unique center damper and side by-pass flu design. The firing cycle takes at least 6 months. 

A smaller 8' x 15' anagama kiln was added in 1995 to shorten that time and allow greater flexibility. Both kilns were built based on my 30 years of experience.
