Wood firing workshop

Fast-fire wood firing workshop, 30th August - 1st September

Based near Heriot in the Scottish Borders. Bring 15 bisqued and glazed pots to load into the kiln (we'll fit as much in as we can). The kiln is fired primarily with waste pallet wood and topped up with some hardwood. The course has space for four participants.

Schedule:
- Saturday, pack the kiln and discussion of kiln design/ firing process (time to be confrimed)
- Sunday, fire kiln, start 9am, approx finish at 6pm
- Monday, unpack kiln around 6pm

On the Saturday there will be hot morning rolls and soup & sandwich lunch. Fruit, biscuits, tea/coffee & soft drinks throughout course.

Pots will need to be made from a high-firing clay and glazed in an appropriate high-firing glaze. The kiln will reach cone 11 in some places. My own rock and wood ash glazes can be provided as an extra.

Nearest train station is Gorebridge, car sharing to be arranged where possible.
