No. You learn to work with clay. Then you bring your best pieces to a potter near by and get it fired in their kiln. This will cost you because no potter wants to put amateure stuff in with their own stuff - if you do pottery wrong it could explode during cooking, taking out the potter's stuff. Do this a few times until you know you enjoy pottery and it's worth getting your own kiln. Then you look on kijiji or CL or FB or whatever to see if there's one for sale.
