Krister is from Sweden. Being interested in woodfiring, he asked us for the plans for the Kirkwood Anagama kiln. He wanted to build a woodfiring kiln but also incorporate some ideas he had into the design which would suit his artistic needs. Below are some of the photographs of the construction and pictures of the work he has done. Krister and his partner are both very good artists and we look forward to seeing more of their work that comes from this kiln. It will be interesting to see how woodfiring will accommodate local clay and slips from the area if he chooses to use them.

the floor was first started as you can see here. notice the ceramic fibre.

To the right, sidewalls and flues being added

Above, you can see the forms being built in addition to the front stoking doors. In the first picture you can see the array of air ports which help control airflow into the kiln

And to the right, you see the almost completed kiln. In particular, notice how the kiln is banded, insulated and how it is in a shed for protection from the cold weather, rain and wind. I really like the side stoking holes in the top, how they are constructed.

We think Krister did an outstanding job on this woodfiring kiln. His wise use of differing materials and the bad weather he had to deal with during the construction phase is a testament on how to persevere in adverse conditions. Below we have included some of Kristers work. We hope you take the time to look at it as it is very well done. If you have any questions or are interested in the plans for a woodfiring kiln such as this, please visit our contact/links page and email us. We would be happy to help you in any way we can.
