We are firing up the Phoenix with Ginny Lane as firemaster! Wood firing is a whole experience, much more exciting that simply dropping your work of on our shelves here and collecting the finished product a week or two later. You get involved in the whole process, learn heaps, bond over hot drinks and stoking of the fire...
Bookings are open to WSP members only.
Booking requires you to participate on at least 2 of the 3 days to help with the preparation, packing and firing of the kiln. You must also have at a minimum the equivalent of 1 banana box of work to be fired in order to ensure a full kiln. You are of course invited to bring along more and what gets in, gets in.
Friday 5th November: prep shelves and kiln
Saturday 6th November: packing kiln
