March '24 Easter Cat Firing

Loading/Firing: March 29-31, 2024 (Fri-Sun), 

Loading starts at: 10:00a

Unloading: FRIDAY, April 5 at 11:00 am

Join Joe Robinson for a hot and glassy firing of the East Creek ChickenCat kiln. We will also have some Easter festivities including a kids easter egg hunt!

Note the Friday unloading. If you can't make it Friday, you can pick up pots and grind your shelves on Saturday. Saturday is anagama loading day.

*Each participant should plan on attending the loading, at least one day of the firing, and the unloading, with one 8 hour kiln shift per 2 cubic feet, and 1 shelf ground per cubic foot. 

If you'd like to bring your own cone 10 clazes that's acceptable; if you want to place those glazes on the outside of your work, please create a ceramic "coaster" for each piece to catch any glaze that runs off. The coaster should have raised edges capable of capturing running glaze. That could be a quick and dirty pinched thing, or tiny plates! If you only use your outside glaze as a liner, no coasters are required.

Registration will be open until the firing is full. A 50% non-refundable deposit is required at the time of signup, with 50% due upon completion of the firing. We must always slightly oversell the kiln to ensure it's filled; your final payment will reflect your actual cubic footage in the kiln. One Pot Pass holders pay in full up front and need not make a final payment; they may also forgoe typical work shifts in favor of just a "visit". All pieces must be bisque fired; some glaze and all wadding is provided. 

NOTE: Please only sign up for one slot per person! Signing up for multiple spots (ie selecting 2, 2 cubic foot tickets rather than one, 4 cubic foot ticket) takes a spot away from someone else. 

1cf: $50

2-5cf: $45

Newcomers are welcome to sign up online. Some help, but no instruction, is provided. If you need lots of help, please join us for one of our wood firing workshops, which include instructions and materials.
