Beginner at pottery, Should i get a kiln?
If the price is right go for it, wheels and kilns are both expensive to buy new. but you need to be sure the electricity in your home (or where ever) is compatible, like 110 or 220. and the right outlet for the type of plug it has. know that a kiln takes a long time to fire most things, which can be expensive on your power bill. you will probably need a couple of firing lessons, which you can usually get from a local ceramics shop or local kiln dealer if not there are a few videos I was able to find online. (the person who used it would be a great help). you have to learn how to load it. and it needs to be placed where the heat build up won't set your house on fire. but other than that there simple. My friend learned how to use hers from the local high school art teacher.
