A word from the maker

p. 7

I was an accountant for eleven years. Then I took one Friday class and never quite left. Kiln & Co. started in my garage with one secondhand wheel.

Now there are six, and the garage is a studio. Everything on the shelf was thrown, trimmed and glazed here, usually with the radio on.

Everyone's first pot collapses

Everyone's first pot collapses. Mine did, twice, in front of a whole class. That's the best part, honestly. You laugh, you start again, and for two hours you don't think about your phone once.
