Wood firing workshop

*Please contact me to book onto course*

Fast-fire wood firing workshop, April and May, total cost £250.

Come join me in the Scottish Borders to fire a fast-fire wood kiln. The kiln is a Philosopher style kiln, based off of the newer design developed at Oxford Kilns. The kiln is built from entirely secondhand materials and is fired primarily with waste pallet wood. 

The kiln is near Heriot in the Scottish Borders. The course has space for four participants. Bring 15 bisqued and glazed pots to load into the kiln (we'll fit as much in as we can).

Schedule:
- Sunday, pack and fire the kiln, 9am start for a likely 8pm finish
- Monday, unpack kiln, time to be arranged

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

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 at an extra cost.

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