Building & Firing a Rocket Kiln!

Permaculture meets ceramics in the low-wood, low emission firing technology of the Rocket Kiln! Based on the smokeless Rocket Stove technology this kiln fires all temperatures up to ^10 oxidation and can be achieved in a few hours using a repurposed kiln atop an efficiently-designed firing chamber. Join as for this half-day virtual workshop to learn more about the Rocket Kiln and how to build one for your own studio!  

Professional potter Lisa Orr, alongside rocket heater designer Rodney Morgan, will demonstrate how the low-wood, low-smoke Rocket Kiln can be used for all temperatures in oxidation, as well as for getting some traditional woodfire flashing.  This kiln’s uniquely efficient “j-tube” firing configuration was developed based on Guatemalan cooking stove improvements invented in the 1980s, which mitigate smoke and wood shortage problems. Rocket stoves and heaters have since been spreading worldwide – a kiln is the next logical step utilizing…
