Electric kiln

An insight into the old electric kiln of the Werkschule e.V.

It's electric!

Thanks to its modern technology, the kiln operated with electricity is a relatively safe firing process with which high temperatures can be fired. Damaging temperature fluctuations can almost be ruled out. As a rule, however, it is only suitable for oxidizing firing. This means that the atmosphere inside the kiln contains sufficient oxygen which can be released to the metal oxides contained in the bodies and glazes and ensures a predictable firing result.
