| Made a few former's, out of finishing plaster to use for slumping glass. |
These need to be cooked in the kiln first. The kiln belongs to Andrew and reside at Ivy Cottage. It is very old and needed fixing. As Andrew has a degree is electrical and electronic engineering he fixed it!
The kiln was made by a company called Webcot (2.5 KW) and has been bought out a couple of times, however you can still get parts for it complete with cobwebs
 |
| This is a mini bar, no drinks served. Back in the olden days the mini bars were used as a safety device, and also as a precise way of turning the kiln off. |
 |
| These former's were cooked at 796 degrees centigrade for approximately 6 - 7 hours. |
 |
| Front of kiln with timer, pyrometer is on the top. |
 |
