Want to make some pottery, but I don't have a kiln and don't know anyone with one!

I want to make a clay sculpture. It is a box with a special shape that I made up, and is not buyable. Nothing special in that, because there are an infinite amount of possibilities anyone can make a new shape.



But I don't have a kiln and don't know anyone with one!



I live in London, England. How would I go about this, with spending the least amount of money? Where would I go to get some baking done? Anyone have some advice??


Use the Internet. Google could help. Search for people who could give you advice: that'd be a start. Then you'd stop using silly provocative words like 'baking' and people might treat you seriously.

On the other hand: pop down the road to your nearest college and have a word with the art teacher.

Just my 2p

Yeah like No Spam said. Not "baking" thats for cakes. "Firing" is ok. There must be places that run classes around. Night classes, or schools or universities. Just see if you can have someone make you one or go have classes. Its not like baking a cake, there is just a wee (lot) more to it.
