Bill Campbell Visit

Yesterday, Marge, Ben, and I had the opportunity to visit Bill Campbell's studio for kiln building. It was amazing seeing his kilns are operated through computer software programs. He has complete control and monitoring capabilities for each kiln with the use of his software. The software gives charts and graphs, so you know exactly how the kilns are firing in relation to one another. He was great about sharing information and explained how we would set up a system like his.

He also gave us a tour of his studio and saw how his studio operates. We learned how he makes his clay, glazes, packs work, and much more! He seems like a great resource of knowledge and I am looking forward to learning more about his kilns when we visit again.

For images of the visit see our kiln photographer's blog (Ben)!
