Large Kiln Space Hire

I’m a Norwich based professional ceramic sculptor, looking to hire space in an electric kiln:

  • A bed of at least 600mm x 400mm.
  • This is to take a deep relief rectangular panel or panels of that size
  • All single firing, no glazing
  • To either 1120°c or 1200°c
  • Would need an electronic controller as I fire slowly to prevent cracking

If anyone within 25 miles or so of Norwich can help I’d be grateful!

Front Loader Stanton Electric Kiln

I’m selling my single phase front loader Stanton kiln with a Stafford controller. It’s served me incredibly well but it currently needs new elements, and as we may be moving house later this year I feel that the time is probably right to find it a new home. It comes with a Stafford ST312 controller (single programme, 2 ramps, £241 exc. VAT when new), although now a discontinued model I believe).

I’m based in Benwick, near March, Cambridgeshire (I run the Cambs Clay Store for AP members). We have access to a forklift to enable the kiln to be moved from out of my studio into a vehicle which can park directly outside of the studio. It is heavy! You are very welcome to come and have a look, and try it out if you want… It works, but it won’t reach stoneware temperature now, due to the elements. 

I am asking just £100 (which is basically for the controller!) as the cost of new kiln elements is likely to be around £500+. Once elements have been replaced, this kiln should serve you really well as it’s a great internal size and I’ve not had any problems with it. Corby Kilns replaced the elements for me last time, which was April 2018 (and the kiln was originally purchased as a second hand kiln from them about 13 years ago). I have fired it relatively frequently; from around once per month minimum, to on quite a few occasions (at peak making times) weekly!

Pottery sculpture commission

We are wholesalers of home accessories and giftware – a family business, we have been trading for 30 years.

I would like to develop a new range of products. ‘Birds on a gnarly wood plaque’  See photo attached. I have a supplier who can provide an extreme weathered looking wooden plaque, onto which I will attach the bird sculpture.

I am looking for a sculptor with a good understanding of glazes, to produce (for example)  approx. 3″ diameter owl faces. I would then use my preferred piece to make a mould for production. 

I need only the round owl face approx. 3″ x 1″ with a flat back, not the wooden plaque.  I have ideas for other birds too, we can explore later. My preferred look is a little stylized, I can send more reference photos. 

If you would like to discuss this project further, please get back to me via email. I shall be out of the office a lot throughout September (trade show and family holiday) but I will try to reply to your message. It would be great if you could show me examples of your work.

Leach Pottery kick wheel

Leach Pottery Kick Wheel [SOLD] other items still available

I have an old 1972 (but not much used) kick wheel described as “modified Leach Pottery wheel”. This is a Woodley’s Joinery Modified Leach wheel.

The current electric version seems to cost a lot but I have no real idea of what this might be worth now. Can we say open to offers?

I would expect it will be costly to move as it is very heavy.

NOTE: as of 31st July 2024 the wheel has been sold.

In addition, I have a lot of other equipment and materials – clays, glazes and tools. These are still available.

I am based in Woodford Green Essex.

Large Stanton Kiln

We have a large Stanton Kiln that we would like to dispose of and raise some funds for a local charity.

The kiln will need an adapted 3-phase, 32 amp supply and comes with 8-10 meters of cable. It has been disconnected and is free standing. We have trolleys available for transporting it out of the building but not for lifting.

A suitable donation to Genesis Orwell Mencap (based in Ipswich) would be appreciated.

Contact details are: Emma Barton (Art Tutor) Email: [email protected] Tel: 07787305888

We also have a considerable number of slip moulds: some for making large garden ornaments and planters, and some for making cups, bowls and plates etc. I will try to send another advert with photos, but we have so many that it will be difficult to catalogue them all. It may be that we advertise for interested parties to come and have a look and choose/make an offer on individual moulds or a job lot.
