New-to-Me Kiln!!

Today I purchased my first kiln!! It's small and old but in working order.  An artist who was previously a potter for 20 years owned it and used it mainly for bisque firing.  I intend to use it for bisquing and perhaps glazing as well.  First, I have to figure HOW to use it!!!

My one hope is that this small kiln will feel at home in my garage, submit to my wishes and become a good friend.  Perhaps I will be blessed with a long career in ceramic art as well as its previous owner. I can only work hard and hope!
