Thai Pottery

Never finished, this is the start of a traditional scorpion kiln. These have been mostly replaced by other kiln types. The are called scorpion kilns because of the chimmey sticking up like the business end of a scorpion. Shot in 1989.

The arch rings lean off vertical about 15˚ . This makes building the arch easier and not require any significant arch supports.
