Anagama Firing

There is an Anagama firing scheduled and Renton is excited about it. Mike is prepping the wood and the plan is to load the kiln on April 13,14,15 and fire April 16,17,18. We have a group of 12 people already committed and are looking for several more dedicated pyromaniacs to participate. 16 potters is about the ideal number, so not many spaces left. Please contact Carol Stewart if you are interested at carolstewart@ihug.co.nz or 09 8109433; and start making...the kiln holds a lot!."
