Muckin' Big firings!

Twice a year, we get to use the BIG kilns - the outdoor wood-firing and the salt-fired kiln. Both firing types were common in Medieval Europe, so naturally I've been spending all semester getting ready.
The interior of the salt kiln. No, the bricks aren't glazed;
they've soaked up years of salt. So, yes - technically, they're
glazed.
