Hi
A group of us are planning to set up a studio in a commercial property. Som=
e=20
of us are functional potters while the rest are sculptors. We are divided o=
n=20
what type of kiln to purchase for the studio. One that fires to cone 8 or=
=20
cone 10? I have read that cone 10 kilns are expensive to fire--is that true=
?=20
We will mostly be using cone 6 glazes and lustres. One of the kilns that we=
=20
are considering is a Skutt 1227-3, but I believe that they only fire to con=
e=20
8. Are there any advantages to paying more for a kiln that fires to cone 10=
?=20
As you can probably tell, we are a group of amateur potters and any help yo=
u=20
can provide will be MOST appreciated. Thanks
