New Wood/Soda Kiln Approved!

Great news - our landlords at the studio have finally decided to let us build a soda kiln outside! We rent space in the annex of a church here in Ames, so we had to get approval from two different committees. It took about a month but they finally said yes. The have been great landlords and continue to support us.

The kiln is based on Fred Olsen's Fast-Fire kiln. It will have two fireboxes. It will reach temperature in 4 to 6 hours, but we hope to slow it down to around 10.

We start construction this weekend!
