I am selling my beloved kiln. I love it, but due to workload I’m not productive enough to fill a kiln this size regularly so swapping for a smaller one (also interested in finding a smaller one approx 50 x 50 x 50 cm inside).

Bought in 2021 brand new from Cromartie Hobbycraft it has had 88 firings in total. It’s in great condition. Kiln shelves and props included.

Asking for £3,000 ono. Collection in London E3

“This high-capacity wired-in kiln requires fixed installation into your electricity supply.
The KM1218 is a large twelve-sided top-loading electric kiln designed for production studios, potteries, and schools requiring a dependable, high-volume kiln. Its wide 72 cm opening and 46 cm chamber depth provide ample space for larger work such as platters, bowls, or multiple layers of smaller pieces — making it ideal for both large-scale firing cycles and batch production.”

Recently refurbished electric wheel. To be used from a standing position. Unknown manufacturer.

• Height 34in – 875mm
• Width 21in – 535mm
• Length 27.5in – 700mm

Looking for £500 ono. Buyer to collect from Little Barningham, near Holt.

Quiet and powerful Vent-Axia extractor fan, good for a pottery studio with brick walls, powerful enough to ventilate a classroom with a large kiln. 

Vent-Axia W161510 (6″) Axial Commercial Extractor Fan Soft-Tone Grey 220-240V. 

I bought it for £430 but will sell for £200 (collect from NR11 or pay for shipping). 

It was wrongly recommended to us for our studio but our plasterboard walls are too thin to install it, so it is unused, still in the box. Hence good if you have brick walls! 

Extremely heavy Cromartie electric kiln. It’s very old and was originally obtained to convert to gas, but never got around to it. May still work as an electric kiln – but could not guarantee this.

Comes with 2 kiln shelves, props and some raw materials (including rutile).

Buyer to collect from Norwich. Will take at least 4 people to lift, and a weight-bearing vehicle will be needed for transport.

Asking £100 ono, but really I just want rid of it!

The property lends itself to a variety of alternative uses such as office space, light industrial use or storage.

Previously used as the popular (first of its kind in Grimsby area) traditional working pottery studio, hosting regular classes on the potter’s wheel. This unique property with exposed bricks and wooden beams, has a rustic feel and would provide the perfect venue as a creative space for perhaps another potter, artist, sculptor, craftsperson with ample opportunities for meetings/photography shoots or even as we had planned – an upstairs art exhibition space to promote the work of other artists.

Note: A large 3 phase potter’s kiln (currently disconnected) will be left in the building for use or buyers disposal.

Location

The north facing property close to the traffic lights at junction of Freeman street and Wellington Street, is located in between 2 other businesses; one an established Martial arts venue on the corner, the other directly next door currently being refurbished as a motor workshop garage with hand car wash. It’s prominent position with large frontal display windows encourages good footfall and passing trade.

Parking, though not provided directly outside the property, can be found close by. Public car parks are also a stones throw away.

Within walking distance is Asda, Boyes, Freeman Street shops with residential flats above. Further down the road is the popular Freeman Street Market. Freshney Place shopping center in the heart of Grimsby is also only a 7 minute walk.

With easy access to A180, major transport links and being close to the Grimsby Railway Station the building is also conveniently situated on a bus route.
