After you have decided on the right kiln for your particular needs to start your Ceramic Handprint business the next step is choosing the location for your kiln to be safely set up. This kiln manufacturers instructions will guide you with the safety requirements for your kiln. This manual will come with your kiln. If you purchased a used kiln, then you can write to the kiln manufacturer and request a copy be sent to you for your particular model of kiln. Or, you can often find out about your kiln on line as well. Always read, understand, and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our first kiln was set up in our garage close to our existing electric dryer. We had a qualified electrician add another plug for us following the kiln manufacturer's requirements. This kiln location worked great for us because our clay workspace was close by. Having your kiln close to your workspace is important because you will be transporting your clay hand prints over and over. This makes it easy for you to keep a watch on your kiln during the firing and also keep the kiln space secure while it is in use. You can build shelves to store your kiln furniture and supplies. It is best to keep your kiln shelves and kiln furniture off the floor. Build them close to your kiln for ease of use.
Your garage can work great for your kiln space and work studio. Remember to read and follow the kiln manufacturer's instructions on safety and specific requirements. Have a licensed electrician install your kiln for you following the manufacturer's instructions. It doesn't take a lot of room to create a convenient workspace and safe kiln area for this clay hand print business.
