Then, use what you've learned to do your homework and make pieces for the October firing. Everything you need for wood firing beyond your bisque is provided, including wadding, glaze, and kiln sundries.

On Friday Oct. 25 we will share in the loading of the kiln and light with a small gas burner on Friday night.

Early Saturday morning 10/26 we will begin stoking wood and continue through shut down sometime on Sunday afternoon/evening, including the introduction of soda mixture sometime on Sunday.

On Saturday November 2 at 12:00 noon, we’ll unload the kiln and work together to clean up and grind shelves.
