Due to the high amount of rainfall I wasn't able to commence work on the kiln again until Easter. So I spent Good Friday and Easter Saturday getting the kiln almost finished. I built the walls and added an additional metre to the height of the chimney.

Kiln just before sealing chimney with mud. |
I now plan to return to fire the kiln very soon. I do however, need to create some work to go in it, prepare the wood and put a final layer of insulation (clay & sawdust) over the arch of the kiln.
