Master Kiln Builders was formed by Minnesota potter Donovan Palmquist. Since 1996, he and his crew have built over 500 kilns for schools, individual artists and institutions throughout the US. Projects have ranged from a one-cubic-foot salt kiln for a private studio to eleven kilns at a major university. Please type a short biography of 125 words (for website & press). Donovan Palmquist has been making pots for over 45 years. Currently, he makes pots part-time and is the owner of Master Kiln Builders. He received his MFA in Ceramics at the University of Minnesota in 1988. He exhibits his work nationally, and has re-ceived numerous grants and awards. He has served on the Board of Directors at the Northern Clay Center in Minneapolis, and has taught at the Northern Clay Center and Anoka-Ramsey Communi-ty College. His primary interest is high-fire functional work, with a current focus on thrown and altered vessels in atmospheric (so-da/salt and wood) firings.
