Discover the art of low-cost, low-tech kiln building and alternative reduction firing techniques. This book showcases a range of innovative kiln designs, from the easy and affordable Raku Kiln to the unique wood-fueled Downdraft Stovepipe Barrel. With clear instructions and colour photographs, you'll learn how to achieve rich surface effects using alternative firing methods.
