Euan Craig Kiln !

The kiln is finished!!







We brought all the old bricks from the ruined kiln in Tochigi.
Then we have cleaned, cut and ground them.

Euan also changed the kiln design a little.

He interlocked the chimney and body of kiln this time,
so it prevents shaking from the chimney base.

He has also connected the kiln frame and the foundations with bolts
to prevent shaking and moving the kiln in an earthquake.
He has drawn on his experience.

We have rebuilt the improved kiln stronger.





Now he is making pots for test firing the kiln as a potter.
He has put aside carpentry for a while.


He has not made pots on the wheel for a long time, months.......
He looks very happy.

It was a very long way to come here.
It is still a long way to go.

We could not come have this far without support from many people and friends.
Thank you very much from my heart

It was Euan's birthday on May 22.
It is the year of dragon this year, and he is a dragon.
We saw the ring of the solar eclipse the day before his birthday, like a present from god.

Now the kiln is finished, he has started making pots......

I'm really looking forward to Euan's future works.

Happy birthday, Euan.
