Digging footings for the kiln shed

John builds the kiln shed

The kiln floor is laid out

The walls begin to go up and the
 flu is constructed

Kiln builder Tracy Dotson
 tamps the walls straight

And more tamping...

Tracy & daughter Day Dotson put
 the iron supports in place

The arch bricks are laid on top
 of a form

The arch support is pulled out

It stayed up!!! Yea!

Up goes the chimney...
loading the kiln
Tracy & Day observe
the first loading
unbricking the door after firing
Unbricking the door

Fired pots before
they're unloaded
See results of the firing
 on the Stoneware
page!
