At our school we are fortunate to have an amazing facility in which to host an independent, year long, ceramics course. This is not a common amenity for most local public high schools. Our space is specifically designed as a ceramics studio and my course is a popular one with students. My students represent a variety of learning types and academic needs. We even have a dedicated room specifically designed for the kiln itself, proper electric outlets and ventilation. Over the summer a water leak devastated our existing kiln, rendering it a complete loss. Due to deep budget cuts and poor insurance funding we are unable to completely replace our kiln. Our previous kiln was a standard medium size yet adequately accommodated the amount of work my courses produce. It is used almost everyday and is maintained by myself and a select group of advanced trained students. A ceramics project much less an entire course can not successfully operate without a kiln. An equatable kiln replacement will run about $4000 An appropriate model for our needs are as follows: Skutt KS Series Kiln - 1027-3PH, Cone 10, 208 V, 3PH
