Hi,
Jim Robison's book "Large-Scale Ceramics" has a chapter about large on-site
works.
ISBN#1-889250-05-8
If I find other books or articles, I'll pass the info on.
Hope this helps,
Lori

Look at The Kiln Book by Fredric Olsen. He builds a lot of kilns and has
detailed instructions on a variety of designs.

Thanks, but I already have that book and it doesn't contain what I'm looking
for, although Olsen did work with Hole in Mission Viejo. Any other
suggestions?

Here's a series of photos of the fired-in-place kiln by Fred Olsen.

PS: Easy to find using a simple search of the Clayart Archives because I
posted this site some time ago (no use entering the search in the "Subject"
section, just type "Nina Hole" in the "for" box and scroll down and click on
"Start the search!".
If the images are a bit small for you to view comfortably, save each of them
(as a .jpg image) and then use image editing software to enlarge them
slightly. Some of the detail will be lost, but what remains is easier to
understand, in this case.
Helen
PS: you can save as .bmp images and alter them in Windows Paint if you use
"Alt+PrintScreen" then paste to the document in WP and save under whatever
name you wish. They are very big files though, this way. -h
