I think a Raku kiln or a Minigama might also be another way for a
student to go. If I had an apprentice, one of the first assignments
would be to take my Gomigama (broken brick kiln) apart and build their
own one shelf kiln.

Here are some links. First one is the haibachi mini kiln that uses a
hair dryer as a blower. Recent photos I have seen use a scaffolding pipe
as a manifold for the hairdryer blower. The second is the minigama site.
With the haibachi, you bisque in an open tin box on top of the haibachi.
With the Minigama, many people are making places on top of the kiln to
bisque pieces on:
