Wood Firing Workshops

Learn to fire an anagama style wood kiln nestled on a wooded four-acre property during this small group workshop. I’ll guide you and a handful of others to work together to handle the kiln during different phases of firing and produce beautiful pots. Whether you are seeking your first hands-on wood firing experience or are looking to hone skills before building a kiln of your own, you’ll end this workshop with pots you’ve formed and forged through a collaborative learning experience in a beautiful setting with good folks.
Bring pots from home and/or make pots here in my studio during a separate throwing workshop.
