work with your fire department for hints on making this safe, they are
always ready to offer assistance in preventive fire measures.  there will
have to  be sort of a vault to house this in... I will leave that up to them
to explain to you.

Subject: museum renovation


> Our museum will be renovated in the next two or three years. To get right
to the point, we wonder whether it would be foolish to
> plan for an electric kiln in the basement beneath the ground floor
galleries. At first glance, it seems like a bad, if not idiotic, idea.
> A kiln would allow us to expand our education programs, but would it be at
the risk of incinerating everything else along the way?
>
>  Because we are a university art museum, there have been several kilns in
that space since 1966--it is currently the university
> sculpture studio. With the renovation, however, the studio arts will move
to another building and the museum will takeover the
> existing studio spaces. The building is stone and the kiln room is
isolated, properly vented, and wired, but the room is located
> beneath gallery space. I would appreciate any opinions anyone would like
to express.
