Yes, I wonder the same thing. I've been thinking of having small salt kiln, and this is actually the first time I saw a fibre one. If you know plan/materials, please share that with me.

I too have been considering a fibre salt kiln and was wondering if you had any plans/materials list for construction of the kiln?
Many thanks for posting.

Doent salt when added to the kiln produce very toxic fumes?
gamesgamesgames 3 years ago
Fumes produced rom the firing process produce sodium oxide Na2O (gas) and hydrogen chloride HCl (gas)which is acidic rather than toxic. At a craft level volumes are very small.

Whats with the little balls of clay on the bottoms? Is that for even salt glazing or to prevent shock from the shelves?

The balls are called wadding. They prevent the pot from being fused to the kiln shelf as the glaze forms. There are different recipes, but most mix alumina hydrate and clay with flour and water to make a paste or dough. The small areas which don't glaze are indicaters that the piece has been salt glazed.

Very interesting....I agree with the comment about the lack of narration, but I guess that couldn't be helped...perhaps a music track could be put on ? also -was that Krithia I briefly glinpsed about 3 minutes into the video??

THanks for your comments. I will try to find ti9me to add some background commenst and music. Yes, the potters who helped construct the kiln all work at Anvil Pottery, Llanrhaeadr, near Denbigh, North Wales. Allan Hughes, John Hughes and Krithia Roberts.
