Pottery Festival....the kiln

The koreans use pine because it burns hot and fast. A small wood burning kiln. Behind us is broken pottery. If there is one flaw in the piece of pottery, it is smashed.
The pottery in the kiln. Placing the bricks, one by one, and sealing it up. The sealed door The brick that is left uncoverd is pulled out every 1.5 hours and the temp is checked.
From there they determine if more pine is added to the fire.
The pottery will stay in the kiln for 2 weeks.
