Beginning The Bourry Box Kiln


in 1911 Emille Bourry wrote "A Treatise on Ceramic Industries" in which he described the type of upside down firebox used in the Sevres kilns. By 1942 "Pioneer Potter" Michael Cardew began using this fuel saving innovation in Africa and later at his own studio in England. A very influential design by Robert Sanderson as described in Jack Troy's "Wood-Fired Stoneware and Porcelain" is the inspiration for the wood kiln at Bobtown.
