Interesting kiln. The one's I remember from my college days were much more homespun looking. There was always that excitement taking the pots out... it was almost a spectator sport.

I am so happy for you to have been able to enjoy a clay workshop. I hope you can get back to it on a regular basis soon.

What a pretty place for creativity...i remember doing raku in high school and I loved that smell of the burning leaves. It's great to barter isnt it?!
