Hi,
I'm new around here, and was wanting to talk with whomever is in charge of the pottery kiln about the possibility of doing some not-exactly-pottery projects with it. Nothing immediate, just looking to get a sense of the costs involved (I assume I'd be paying for the electricity).
Specifically I'd like to investigate using the kiln for some glass slumping/fusing projects, and possibly for burning out lost-wax or lost-resin casting investment molds. The latter process would be essentially a ceramics project, but with a slower ramp and hold at ~100C to clear out the mold first.
Is this something that can be done in the Kiln, and if so, what would the likely costs be?
