Woodfired Kiln

The wood fired kiln shown here was completed in 2023.

 

This kiln allows us to make large work and to get the unique effects of wood ash on pottery.​

A large batch of pottery is loaded into the kiln and sealed in. The kiln is fired for over two days. With the help of other local artists, we continuously monitor and feed it wood.

Building the Kiln

We started by digging the foundation and laying the floor. The main chamber was built around a wooden arch form. The completed arch is self supporting, allowing the form to be removed.
