hi all,
my husband and i are planning a move to a new home in a couple of years, and part of the plan includes a studio space for me, in which i plan to install a small gas kiln. my question is, how much can i expect to pay for a new kiln, about 10-12 cubic feet. how safe is it to purchase a used gas kiln and what should i look for if the opportunity should present itself?
thanks in advance for any help you can give!
Might be a good idea to include your location.
years ago i stumbled onto a high school thatdiscontinued their pottery program and i was able to buy ALL their equipment for $1000. including the kiln. (i never measured the kiln, but it was about as big as a coke machine). so check your local high schools for old equipment. it's a shame they have been dropping art programs, but we all should at least pick up the materials and put them to use.
after refurbishing the kiln it worked very well.
i lived in lakewood, california. population of 80,000. i got city permits for the gas line which cost me $15.
