ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Kiln

A kiln is like a big oven that artists and potters use to heat up clay or other materials, so they become hard or change form. It's kind of like baking a cake, but the kiln gets way hotter than your regular oven. The kiln can get so hot that it can change the color of the clay or turn it into a different kind of material, like glass. Potters and other artists use the kiln to make all sorts of things like cups, bowls, and sculptures. It's an important tool for creating art with clay or other materials.
