Pottery Tools and Kiln Construction

The first site is simple and includes several tools that I thought were interesting.  Since we work within a certain range of tools within the studio, it is eye-opening to see the incredible range of tools and the forms that can be achieved with such equipment.

Also, within this site, the side links include Manabigama Kiln, which I was curious to learn more about.  This link is helpful in terms of understanding the benefits of this kiln as a small-scale, rather easily operated unit, ideal for studios, etc.  In addition, the construction process is discussed.
