Who is The Kiln Guy?

Michael Ellis

Don’t pray to the kiln gods, just ask The Kiln Guy!

I’ve had a passion for clay since I was a young boy.  I would often hang out in my Grandfather’s art studio and play with the oil based clay that was lying around.  In high school, I took all of the ceramics classes available and eventually went to Tyler School Of Art to study ceramics full time.  At Tyler, I volunteered as a teaching assistant and learned to fire and troubleshoot kilns.  Upon graduating, I got a job working with L&L Kiln Mfg as their service and repair technician.  I was thrilled to be working with the best electric kilns on the market!  They trained me in kiln construction, diagnosis, and repair.  In 2010, I decided to start my own kiln service and sales business, and with that decision “The Kiln Guy” was born!
