Answer 1

Try the Dust Genie. It can get inside small spaces like your ceramics. They videos on their site so you can get a better idea of how it works. www.dustgenie.com

Answer 2

A Kiln is the correct spelling. I personally would not use it to smoke out of. Due to the fact you don't know what chemicals were use in the ceramic to begin with . If it has glaze on the outside then it's be Fired (baked) already and should not melt, so yes you can wash it. Although the unglazed ceramic is not going to come clean once it has been stained. I hope this has helped you out ;)))

PS. If you put glaze on the inside it will need to be fired again , but due to the staining of the inside it would not be a good idea ;(((

Answer 3

Wipe out the inside with a damp rag. Once completely

dry and free of dust paint a ceramic glazed on the inside.

Just let the bowl completely dry. You don't need a kiln

to bake it. Then just hand wash the bowl.
