Yes it is Penn State, main campus.  I haven't been in the facilities since the late 70's's so I have no idea what they have in kilns and studio space.

 

best,

Pres

@Pres- thanks so much!

I know that some colleges with MFA programs had them in the 70's, as there was one at PSU where photos were taken with a table and chairs inside with people sitting around. Long time ago, and strange fond memory.

 

best,

Pres

@pres - do you happen to know which colleges? Even though it's been a while, I'm willing to investigate any lead! Is PSU Penn State?

@oldladyThanks for letting me know! Do you know where that is/who would be the contact? Funny thing is I'm coincidentally going to be in st. Petersburg in a couple weeks!

@Callie Beller Diesel@neilestrick thanks for all the info! I'm actually asking on behalf of my mentor who has made 4 ft large crystalline glazed wall plates (fine art) and dreams of taking it further. Trying to help him out. He's helped me so much! So to answer your question, I know he would be willing to rent an entire kiln.

I also know that the kiln would need to get up to at least 2300° and be able to hold/soak for the crystalline process.

@Pres I'm not looking to buy this kiln. More looking for a studio that exists where a 6ft diameter art piece could be fired.

@Min In the US or Canada, preferably closer to Seattle, WA. Any leads appreciated!

Anyone know of a kiln in the US that is at least 6' in diameter? I'm thinking universities, maybe? Closer to Seattle, WA is ideal!
