display equipment


 



Pottery equipment from the Geometrix studio

This is my North Star workhorse slab roller. It's manual, and has been maintained by my husband, who thankfully is a machinist.

Front view, mud splattered.. the little wooden table my dad made to hold my patterns and various things that pertained to the slab roller will be part of the sale.
                         SOLD!                  
The front view of my North Star extruder. Again, manual, and the extra die package is included.
I have two Skutt 1018 kilns. Both kilns have new digital controllers and both got new elements.
inside view of front kiln. bricks are in decent shape. there are small cracks in the bottom that a little patch will remedy. The inside edge of the top is worn appropriate to age. Overall, both kilns are in good shape, the one I call the front is used a lot more, and has more wear.
Now that the holidays are over I can spend a bit more time cleaning, setting up appropriate lighting so you can see the details much better.
back kiln, which is newer than the front, and mostly due to location, was used as my bisque kiln... both kilns are totally functional, but this one has considerably less overall wear.
as you can see there is one glaze stain on the floor... the inside of this kiln, apart from a few bricks on the floor, is in very good shape.
sorry for the quality, my kiln shed is dark and there's a fence section in front of the building that makes the sunlight glare.

Anyway, here are a few very rough images for your consideration. Let me know if anything is of interest and I'll be sure to clean those up first... since I'm now officially no longer a potter, although truthfully, I've only done about 5 kiln loads in the last two years... hard to believe a few years ago I did pottery full time! I cannot access pictures of my display equipment, but will create another post with those.
