Happy buyer!
I bought a jug and a bird from Chris as part of an online craft festival. Both pieces are lovely but the bird, a raku fired bird on a buoy, is completely delightful. The bird is full of character, which didn't fully come across in the online photo.
Chris's customer service was great, with good communication and very prompt delivery.

Chris Barnes's book on Gas Fired Kilns is just excellent. It's clearly written, full of useful information and importantly lots of practical guidance. A must have book if you're planning to convert an old electric kiln into a gas kiln, or you plan to build a gas fired kiln from scratch.

I received 2 copies of Chris' recent book on gas kiln firing very quickly and efficiently. It was such a good service and so prompt that I am considering ordering a striped bowl to add to my set.
