3 Day Instructor-Led Wood Kiln Firing
2026-05-08 - 2026-05-10 | Salem Art Works, 19 Cary Lane, Salem, 12865
$300.00

The Flat Top Kiln was designed to provide a clearer understanding of the principles of wood firing, while still producing exceptional surfaces. The scale of the kiln allows for quicker firings and a closer relationship between the firer and the kiln.
In this instructor-led three-day kiln firing workshop, participants will meet at 9 AM on Friday to load the kiln and begin firing in the afternoon, continuing through Sunday morning. Each participant will have 4.5 cu/ft of kiln space to fire their work in, minus the space taken up by shelving/columns, etc. Work must be made with cone 10 clay and bisque-fired before arrival. Each participant is required to take shifts firing the kiln during the three-day workshop. After the firing has finished, participants will meet up again the following Saturday for the unveiling of their work.
