Salt Lik and Soda Pop

Two kilns were constructed at Medalta in May of 2009 Ten incredibly hard working and dedicated people from across Canada took part in a kiln building class led by Aaron Nelson. They built two kilns, one salt and one soda. Over the course of eleven days students were able to put the theories that were discussed in the morning into practical use that afternoon.
