Know Thy Kiln: Workshop with Anika Major
Advertisement
Learn to confidently operate your programmable Skutt kiln through a practical, studio-focused workshop led by Anika Major. This session is designed to demystify kiln function and give you the skills to run firings with more independence and fewer surprises. We’ll combine clear instruction with real-world studio scenarios so you can better understand what’s happening inside the kiln from loading to cool-down.
You’ll cover:
* Basics of Skutt kiln programming and how to set or adjust firing schedules
* Loading strategies for even heatwork, stability, and glaze success
* Common kiln error codes and what they actually mean in practice
* Basic troubleshooting during a firing (and when to stop and reassess)
* Best practices for routine kiln maintenance and longevity
Whether you’re new to kiln operation or looking to strengthen your technical fluency, this workshop builds confidence in one of the most essential studio tools.
