Its time to do a few firings before the summer rains. Pit firing is about getting in touch with earth and fire, using a firing method which dates back to the beginning of civilisation. Making pots together, preparing and packing of the pit and stoking the fire are all part of a great group experience.
I am running a pit firing short course at my studio starting Tuesday 20th September 2011 for three consequetive Tuesdays ending with the firing on the 15th of October.
