TheThird Annual Leupp Kiln Conference
Modern technology was used to
monitor temperatures produced
by this ancient technology
Preheated rocks were placed on the hot coals and
the preheated pots were placed on the warm rocks.
If placed directly on the coals, the pot will pop.
Greenware was loaded into
the kiln, Charlie blessed the
firing, large pot sherds were
placed on top of the
greenware to protect it from
the hot coals, more fuel was
added, and firing began!
