The kiln was reconstructed with traditional materials in a form typical for the Pogórze. It is made entirely of bricks cemented by clay mixed with chaff. In the front is a large triangular opening that makes it possible to put clay products inside to be fired. For the duration of the firing (i.e., about 24 hours), the inlet of the kiln was bricked up. Four hearth openings can be seen at the bottom. Clay pots and other products are arranged inside the kiln; some of them come from contemporary pottery exhibitions and were made on a foot-driven two-disk potter’s wheel.. The workshop in which the kiln was made was in operation until the 1990s. Biscuit containers (without glazing)and glazed pots, some of them with painted decorations such as tree branches, zigzags or dots, were made there.
