Although the majority of his previous work was one of a kind, he has for the past 7 years been producing custom handmade tiles. With the recent expansion of the Shenfeld studio into a restored factory building in downtown Syracuse, New York, the 6,000-square-foot studio is now producing over 20,000 square foot of tile a year. With the addition of a 100-ton tile press, the production is only at a third of the studio's capability. With this amount of tile work, the studio needed a real workhorse for a kiln. Currently he fires all the tiles in (put in more specific info) 3 L&L Davinci kilns. For the past 7 years, each of the kilns has been fired to cone 9 an average of three times a week. I might add that the majority of the tiles are crystalline glazes and the firing programs are complicated and can run up to 15 hours with long soak periods at high tempetures. The advanced capabilities of programming the kilns and ease of changing all the elements twice a year makes owning the L&L kilns a pleasure, not a regret.
