Raku Kiln Building Course
The Raku Kiln Building Course is a focused, step-by-step program dedicated entirely to designing and constructing your own functional Raku kiln. This course is a segmented portion of the complete Online Raku Firing Course, created for potters who specifically want clear, practical instruction on building reliable firing equipment. Inside the course, you’ll begin with an introduction and essential safety overview, covering proper materials, best practices, and safe handling of ceramic fiber and high-temperature equipment. From there, the lessons walk you through the entire kiln building process, including required tools and materials, burner setup, venting, structural assembly, and practical design considerations. You’ll also learn how to properly rigidize and reinforce your kiln to make it safer, longer lasting, and more efficient over time. By the end of the course, you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to build, maintain, and operate your own Raku kiln with a professional, sustainable approach.
