Medieval Living

After looking at yesterday’s post on Medieval tile, I thought it appropriate to locate a websource for making Medieval kilns. I found several sites that discuss the history Medieval kilns, especially in Japan. I did find a site that focuses on 13th and 14th century pottery of the UK and its construction. Among their many discussions is a nice little piece on making a Medieval-style kiln using contemporary materials. Campots Arcaeoceramics give some very nice instruction on the construction of a small scale, gas-fired, stacked brick, kiln. While not necessarily Medieval, it at least captures the spirit of the Medieval kilns that dotted the countryside in the 13th century. Might build one myself (after I finish the Medieval-ish wagon that I’m building with my grandson).
