Home cooking pottery?

I was looking for a good way to fire my pottery at home (short of buying or renting a furnace) Is there a good way to do this? I tried a torch, but my room exploded in my face …

No, no. You want to warm your ceramic piece slowly and only if it is perfectly dry. Even if you make a really short trip like you could do with a raku kiln is still going to take at least an hour, and you really do wants to be about an hour holding a blowtorch. Please do big things (rather than say a square foot) can be watched on enamel oven. than are relatively inexpensive and are connected to a conventional outlet. And you can start on enamel as well. The way people use most often, they find a oven, either in a school, pottery or whatever, where the fire ceramics for a fee. If you are just starting, so I recommend taking a class. That will give you access to an oven and you say things like that so you spend less time and material in their experiments sentences (although in experiments in general are a great idea).
