Bitz,
If the small kiln is electric, no special considerations
exist other than sufficient clearance to meet manufacturer's
recommendations.
If she plans to fire a gas kiln, I would recommend a
separate outbuilding far enough from the studio to not pose
a carbon monoxide danger in the event she fires heavy
reduction.
Regards,

Let's assume that's an electric kiln. Easy answer: Go to the
maker's web site and check their specs for clearance. Add
about 2 ft and Bob's your uncle.
Trust me--I used to do this for a living.

PS: There are several more safety considerations, of course.
If your friend has any more questions, contact me off-net.
