Even though Kapiolani Community College has several ongoing ceramics classes this semester, the two teachers do not have a kiln for their students. A borrowed electric kiln was used last semester but overheated. There are two nonfunctioning gas kilns and the just-mentioned electric kiln that has not been fixed due to an electrical mismatch.
It is frustrating and extremely disappointing that there is no kiln to fire the artwork. Students have paid to take these classes and yet their work is not being fired on campus.
Can anyone intercede in what remains of the spring 2025 semester to ease our frustration?
Can University of Hawaii-Manoa or Windward Community College step in to lend their fine facilities until KCC either buys a new kiln that matches the existing wiring or repairs or replaces the gas kilns?
