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***
Wanted: Conference presentations
We invite individual papers on any of our themes. Interested parties should address the above themes, however issues relevant to contemporary woodfired ceramics that fall outside the major themes will also be considered. Please send initially a brief abstract of 250 words and a short biography of no more than 150 words (a single attached Word doc. would be fine) by email to [email protected].
Please include title of paper; name of author(s); address; full contact details, especially your web site.
Successful applicants must submit completed papers by the end of July, 2010 on a cd. Only the following formats are allowed: text as .doc, rtf or txt, pictures as .tif, .jpg is second best. Please take care that the size of the pictures is suitable for printing. Please don’t send in PowerPoint presentations. The organizing committee is presently exploring options for publication and further information will be available when confirmed.
