WOOD FIRING WORKSHOPS

The 11-day wood firing welcomes both emerging & experienced potters, guiding participants through every stage of firing an Anagama kiln.

From sourcing wood & preparing glazes to loading & firing the kiln around the clock for over 100 hours, the experience is both intensive & rewarding.

It’s a chance to slow down, connect with community & engage deeply with the ancient tradition of wood firing.
