This one week wood firing workshop encompassed the loading/firing of the tube style anagama wood burning kiln. We focused discussions on techniques and systems used to gain fluidity in the wood firing process. Careful loading decisions, stoking intervals, making work with wood fired intentions, and analysis of the finished results were some of the topics discussed. Focus of demonstrations were mainly wheel thrown tableware pottery, 2ft + tall coil built large vase, 25lb thrown platter, and how to clean/prep wood fired work for sale/display.
Cost:
$300 = 2 cu/ft of space
$600 = 5 cu/ft of space
