Andrew Gardner on sat 6 jul 02


A friend asked if it was possible to build a "small anagama". I have know
idea what the pros and cons of size is or what the limits are. Does anyone
know of small anagamas? Have any plans for one, or formulas for designing
such a one? Thanks...and my Fast-fire works just fine, tho' am still
tinkering and tweeking the stacking and stoking and dampering...

Dear Andrew,
For some time we have been building (amongst other things) small human
sized *tube* kilns which resemble Anagamas. They have, by and large,
been pretty successful. Have a look at k/web2/page2.html>.
Email me off-list if you have any questions.
