An oven for my pottery workshop

Making poterry since 1993 I sold my oven in 2013 to finance a period of love migration, with the arrival of my second daughter, several moves, the arrival of my third daughter… With my family I finaly moved close to Saint Quentin la Poterie - the capital of potters in southern France. I started working again, found the recipes of my enamels, cooked a couple of times with a help of friends potters ... In December 2019 I opened my boutique Aux grès d'Aimé. <img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/652972/1-IMG_0538_-_Copie-1583646570.JPG" width="100%" /> Between the potters of the village a rumor begins to run: "François is going to sell his oven". Quick, I run to see him, he agrees to keep it for me … :))

Allocation of funds

It is a very good gas oven with a capacity of 350 liters; it fits my needs perfectly. As it is an occasion it only costs 1000 euros. In addition it is on site (in the same village as my workshop) which allows me to save several hundred euros in transport costs. <img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/652373/20200130_183507_1_-1583415142.jpg" width="100%" /> I will also need 2 large bottles of gas to make fire: (deposit 30 euros + charge 95 euros) x 2 = 248 euros and around 100 euros for transport. Series of bowls, plates, salad bowls and vases are ready and just waiting to be put in the oven and cooked to 1300 degrees. I have to hurry because the season will start soon and the pieces must be installed on the shop shelves before the visitors arrive.
