Kiln - Woody, the bisque kiln Gold Coast Potters Benowa is being offered for sale with GCPA members given priority.
Woody is brick and built by Tetlow.
The kiln’s inner dimensions are approximately 500mm wide, 800mm deep and 1000mm high with the top of the kiln being arched.
Elements are approximately 2 years old and the kiln has been used to fire bisque work to 1030 degrees C. It is capable of firing to cone 9 or 10 but no guarantees are given for this. It has been used for bisque for approximately the past 4 to 5 years. Not sure how old it is but John will endeavour to find this out if this is of concern.
The kiln is available for inspection and will be sold “as is where is”. The kiln will be sold with a Harco controller which was used on it previous to the Stafford that is on it now. The pyrometer, props, and all kiln furniture are NOT included.
The purchaser is responsible for disconnection of wiring by a qualified electrician and all aspects of removal. The kiln MUST be removed at a time set by GCPA. Failure to do so will negate the sale and loss of deposit.
The time frame for collection is not yet set but will be after 20th January 2020. A deposit of 10% will be required. The highest offer may not necessarily be accepted.
