I'm interested in building a raku kiln, but have so far only been able to find fairly complicated models with expensive thermometers, burners etc. As I only wanted to try raku out as an experiment, does anyone know how you can build a home-made one at low cost to be used in a garden? Thank you for any information you can help me with, Katrina
get a metal trash can, line the inside with insulating cloth, cut a hole in the side, and a hole in the top. add a burner. fire away!
you'll soon learn the value of "complicated" instructions and "expensive" burners if the cloth doesn't stay put, if you DIDN'T use kaowool high temp cloth, if the kiln never gets hot enough, if you set fire to your garden...
on an experimental small scale what about using a coffee can, steal some cloth off someone, and use a bunsun burner borrowed from the chemistry lab? make thimbal size pieces? might work....
see ya
