1st International European Woodfire Conference – This international conference aimed at exploring current research and trends in wood firing will be held at Bröllin from 2nd to 5th September 2010.
Well known keynote speakers will address a series of questions, follow-up forums will give an international overview and discuss technical and aesthetical issues. Exhibitions will be held to coincide with the conference – aimed at presenting a wide survey of wood fire practice. Forums will be held each day, as well as demonstrations, exhibition openings, kiln firings and social events. There will also be Pre-Conference Workshops in the week leading up to the Conference. After the conference we offer excursions to places of interest for woodfirers, for example to La Borne, where a part of the pre-conference of the AIC general assembly will be held some days later.
***Workshops with Owen Rye and Paul Davis***
