[Nfb-krafters-korner] Friday's question late once again.

[dianefilipe at peoplepc.com]

What a wonderful question!
 
I consider myself the pottery queen, at least here in Greeley, CO.
I am lucky enough to be taking pottery classes at AIMS Community College
here in Greeley.  This is my 5th semester taking it being blind, and it is
where I have my work-study position too.  Talk about getting paid for doing
something you love!!! 
The people there think I rock and cannot believe I am blind.  I get to load,
set, and unload the kilns all by myself!  If I have a special project like
the pins I am doing for convention this year,all I have to do is buy my own
clay and glazes and I can fire for free!  I guess that is probably built
into the student fees I pay at AIMS!

Hello,
First I would like to wish everyone a pleasant Easter Holiday. My excuse
this week was I had family from Texas visiting Connecticut all week. They
left yesterday to fly back home. Saturday was my middle son's birthday and
we all went out for dinner last night. So the dust is settling back down.
This weeks question is for the ceramic and pottery folks. Give us time we
will come up with questions to cover all different crafts.
For those that were with ceramics, if you do not have your own kiln, where
do you have your firing done? How are you perceived at that place? Are you
allowed to do it yourself or assist or forced to let someone do it for you?
If you have your own kiln, how much did it cost and where and how did you
find out enough information to purchase it?
If you use someone else kiln please give us an idea of what they charge you
to use it.
Is the same type of kiln used for pottery?
