Dennis,
(Good points about brick thickness too, btw.)
Hey you know, better yet, Cheryl could get an electric kiln, and with the money
she saved (vs. buying a GAS kiln) she can get a Raku kiln, then get somebody out
with a backhoe to dig her a pit kiln. In a school environment I think I'd
forego the manure tho. :) Hot diggety, we'll make potters out of
everybody.<GG>
PS: If there's a website w/ your work, I'd like to see it.
