Built in Greenfield Village in April 2004, the kiln’s builder designed the kiln with a decorative twisting chimney.
Each item is stacked carefully on top of each other. The kiln may take more than a day to reach the temperature necessary to turn
the pottery shop’s clay creations into finished pieces. Since one firing takes about
18 hours, the potters must work in shifts during the firing process, keeping the fire at a constant temperature.
