First firing in the Big kiln
We are happy to announce that the first firing of full load for bisque temperature in the new kiln was completed successfully within 3 days. The new kiln was installed and delivered to the co-op in late December 2015, and was named ‘Big’ before launch in January 1016. Ceramics by 5 artists and People’s Pottery Classes participants were fired without a glitch.
Acquisition of a new kiln was supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

Arts Council England Grants for the Arts supports our new kiln acquisition plan
Ceramics Studio Co-op is happy to announce
That our project aimed to acquire a new kiln for the workshop and update firing facility is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England. This plan includes the purchase of a new 200 litre kiln with an extension ring that would guarantee more sustainable and reliable ceramics firing services that are currently provided by the co-operative.
We would also use part of the funding and Young Co-operators Prize award to set-up air extractor facility to improve health and safety for makers and artists using our facilities. The new kiln is due to be in operation from January 2016.
