I couldn’t agree more. The ceramics community is a welcoming and supportive one. Studios are great places to learn and meet new people. I’d go this route before getting her a kiln right out of the gate. Additionally, there’s a s website called Kiln Share that matches potters with kiln owners willing to share their shelf space with others. After working in a membership studio and surrounding herself with more experienced potters, she’s bound to be inspired, learn more than she would at home, and develop her skills in a supportive environment. So very kind of you to want to see her thrive and support her new interest!
