New Kiln In Taku, Japan


Hello All: I haven't posted in a long time. A bit of time away from the computer was needed. Here is a link to what I have been up to,
http://karatsupots-workshop.blogspot.com/
This wood fired kiln was made in a workshop the Mike Martino hosted at his studio in Taku, Japan. I was the guest artist. Mike and I designed this kiln over a two year period. The workshop was glorious and the kiln that got built is top notch. I am very proud to have been a part of this project, and look forward to wood firing this new kiln in the spring.
The picture is of the first chamber of two chambers.
Sorry to have been away so long, it's good to be back.

~Cheers
Make good pots!!

Thanks! I think that should be a part of what a good kiln does..to make you want, to make pots, to put in it. Glad that it's doing that part. I can't wait to fire it in the spring.
