Kiln Building @ Central Washington University

With the scholarship / grant from the C. Ferrell Scholarship Committee I built a woodfire Train Kiln for Central Washington University.  During Fall Quarter of 1210 Professor Stephen Robison taught a kiln building class which gave me the opportunity to learn the science behind what I was doing while providing the project with extra, much needed, hands.  During Winter Quarter I fired the kiln twice and had two shows with the work form the kiln during Spring Quarter.  Much thanks and gratitude for everyones help and support.
