Kiln Safety and Ventilation
Creating and maintaining a safe, productive studio environment is extremely important for ceramicists. Good studio "hygiene" includes such things as using spray booths correctly to apply glazes, exercising extreme care around ceramic glazes and pug mills, following firing instructions, mopping floors (instead of sweeping), water-washing work surfaces, and respecting your fellow potters. Blick understands this, and offers studio supplies, tools, and safety equipment for making your studio or classroom a safe, creative, and collaborative place.
This includes kiln ventilation systems that remove gases and fumes during firings of Amaco and Skutt kilns, and universal downdraft and updraft systems that work with many other brands of pottery kiln. Find kiln safety screens that protect hot kiln surfaces with sturdy aluminum panels and fire-resistant curtains, then fold away neatly when not in use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a kiln venting system so important?
Testing has shown that carbon monoxide produced during firings can be higher than accepted government (OSHA) standards — 35 PPM (Parts Per Million) for continual exposure or 200 PPM for short-term exposure, which can cause headaches, fatigue, sore throats, and nausea. Fumes, odors, and vapors that contain organics, volatile metals, fluorides, and sulphur oxides are also created when clay bodies and glazes are fired. It is important to clear them out of inhabited spaces to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. Kiln venting accomplishes that.
