Newtown
3 day Wood Firing Experience in the heart of Mid Wales.
Our Girel 3e kiln was built in 2024, an ergonomic, economic and environmentally friendly kiln designed by Jean Girel in 2022. It uses less wood than comparable kilns and fires in much less time giving the opportunity for the experience of wood firing without a large time commitment. The kiln is designed to be energy efficient, both in terms of the wood used and the effort of stoking. Those coming on the course will be able to participate in the full firing experience.
Firing weekend courses will be Friday to Sunday.
June 20,21,22
Sept 26,27,28
Programme
-
Friday
. Glazing and packing the kin 10.00 – 19.00
Saturday
. Kiln firing from 6.00 a.m, finishing around 19.00

£300 per person.
Maximum 8 people

You can bring
12 or so small to medium-sized bisque or raw stoneware pots or come on our intensive throwing course the previous weekend. It is very important that you use appropriate clay to minimise adverse effects on other pots and kiln shelves.
We provide a range of glazes that have been used successfully in this kiln. In wood firing, much of the pleasure is gained by the action of the flame on the unglazed surface of the clay body, so glazing is not always preferable.
We can’t guarantee to fire all of your pots, but we will fire as many as possible.
Optional 2 day throwing workshops
, max 5 students Saturday and Sunday before the firing
June 14,15
