<h2 id="isPasted" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">What is the course about?</h2>
This course gives you all the information you need to select, maintain and fire an electric kiln in a safe and efficient way. It also goes over what happens to clays and glazes when they are fired.

The course is run over eight weekly sessions at 19:00 &ndash; 20:30. Also recorded and put onto the course web page so you can view them at other times Plus an additional discussion session to discuss the course material, and any questions you may have with your kiln and firing - date and time to be set at the start of the course.
<h2 fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">What will we cover?</h2>
The course covers everything you are likely to need to know about electric kilns and firing them. It is ideal for you if you&#39;ve just bought a kiln and want to get to grips with it, or if you use a studio where work is fired for you and you want to understand what happens, or if you&#39;ve had a kiln for a while but aren&#39;t sure if you&#39;re getting the most out of it.
The course covers choosing, installing and maintaining your kiln; kiln safety; how a kiln heats up, how we measure it with thermocouples and cones, and how we control it with the kiln controller; what happens to clays and glazes during the firing; how best to load your kiln and when to unload it; and firing faults, their prevention and cure.
The course doesn&rsquo;t deal with older technology such as kiln sitters or kilns controlled manually through dials.
