What Is a Pottery Kiln?
The oldest pottery found to date is dated from 15,400 to 18,300 B.C. But the use of a kiln is much more difficult to date. Pit-firing appears to be the first use of a kiln-like structure. Pottery kilns can be created by hand or purchased from a supplier. Each type of kiln will produce a different type of result due to its heat source and internal atmosphere.
