Gertrudis was one of the artisans that stood in place of another who dropped out of the program. Thus, in her case, instead of making improvements to the kiln, a completely new one was built. She took the materials that would’ve gone to another, bought the additional bricks needed and paid for the construction.
This kiln comes as a great help to her since she lives close to, but outside of the main town center - meaning she had to carry all her work into town in order to fire it.
This kiln is a slight change on the square design. Instead of the wood entering in the front of the kiln, it enters on the side. This design allows a few small stairs to be built to the entrance of the kiln so that the artisan can easily place and retrieve her pieces.
This kiln also gives an excellent shot of the chimney exiting the roof.
