I would like to wear gloves when I handle kiln shelves

Wear batter’s gloves. You can also find thin, leather-lined mechanic’s gloves at home improvement centers. Mechanic’s gloves are thin enough for you to load and remove shelves inside a kiln. They will also help to protect your hands against sharp bits of glaze or glass. Wait until the shelves have cooled before removing them from the kiln.
