I was in Nanaimo at the beginning of May with some students and lucky for us the on-campus Tozan pottery kiln was being fired. This kiln is like no other; 3 chambers for pottery and 1 front "fire box" chamber for the heat. Powered entirely from wood, the kiln is kept alive for 3-4 days, 24 hours non-stop. It takes at least as many days to cool before the potters are able to unload the contents.
