I was having a nice day in Ceramicmarket in Iitti, southern Finland.
People were selling their own works and others were building paperclaykiln. There was also really good cafe -pies, salads, pumpkin soup, chili-chocolade cake...
Things you have to have when making paperclaykiln:
paper -magazines are best, not newspaper
straw or other stuff which makes a lot of smoke
Basic idea is that you make a volcano looking kiln using wood and wire.
Under this volcano are bricks and grill.
Under the grill you are firing this thing.
Clayslurry magazines are covering wood that it doesn't burn down.
Basicidea is to make a lot of smoke!
You can burn this kiln 2-6 hours.
Unloading next day.
Quite easy, quick and fun to do.
Suitable for kids also!
I wasn`t able to see the results of this firing,
but Paula told me that it was amazing
- a lot of black and white and good smoke marks!
