Steve Mills was a Bath potter whose enthusiasm and encyclopaedic knowledge of his craft took him around the world building his own design of kilns in the ten years since he retired from a business supplying pottery materials. Steve Mills' designs for wood-fired kilns are now operating on four continents. All have been constructed and fired by one person in a day, a simple, efficient solution he was happy to share freely. He was internationally recognised as an authority on kiln construction and a range of pottery glazes he made from wood ash.
