Whangamata, Coromandel, New Zealand
For the first time in New Zealand a conference is happening dedicated to the art of wood firing. This will be the start of the renaissance for the wood firing fraternity and the best possible introduction for potters and ceramicists that have wanted to have a go with wood firing. The weekend is full of kiln building, kilns firing and an exploration of all things related to the wood fired pot. International guests will lead the charge into the frantic pace of kiln construction, with participants expected to lend a hand and feel the clay under their fingernails. A variety of kilns, from small salt kilns through to large temporary kiln installations will be erected on site, pots made to fill them and then the fires are lit. A pyromania of heat and flame will ensure the weekend is an impression burnt into the memory of all. There will be the sort of feasting and company that legends are made of and with camping on-site the partying and all night stoking vigils can last until dawn.

We’re doing it again! We invited 100 of the fields most celebrated artists from the United States and Canada to send work that was fired in the anagama wood kiln at Gustin Ceramics in May and October. Each has generously donated their work to support the facilities and programs of the Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts. The on-line auction will run from December 1-December 10. Take home some great pots by bidding on these unique pieces and help support Watershed’s facilities and programs.
The 25th Anniversary Benefit Exhibition will open the evening of December 10th at Gustin Gallery in South Dartmouth, MA, with food and drink, culminating the nights festivities with the Pottery Raffle. The Raffle 150 pieces from the two wood firings will be raffled on the evening of Dec. 10th. Everyone who purchases a ticket will receive a piece. A “special” piece will be saved for last, going to the person with the 150th number! You don’t need to be present to participate!

A gas kiln in a trailer that can achieve wood fired results in 6 hours?
Yuppers.
Steve Davis details all about his Kazegama kiln on his website. Definitely worth a look.
Plus make sure to check out the soda kiln.
