The Workshop begins with the kiln loading. We will spend a morning glazing, then another full day carefully wadding and positioning all of the wares into the kiln. The door will then be bricked up, and we will begin to fire come early evening. Although firing schedules vary each time, the kiln will generally finish up after 40 hours of firing. The unloading of the kiln will take place the following Friday. Kiln shares consists of 4 cubic feet, and include access to studio glazes.
