WOOD KILN FIRING + COMMUNITY POTLUCK

FREE | Wednesday all-day firing | Dinner at 6 PM

Stop by the kiln house any time on Wednesday (5am - 10pm) to experience the wood kiln firing - a centuries-old mix of science and art! This multi-day process from loading to unloading is a community effort that includes: prepping the kiln, wadding the pots, stacking the wares and bricking the door, a 30-hour firing, a two-day cooling, and the final excitement of unloading the pots.

Join us for a kiln-side pot-luck dinner on Wednesday the 25th at 6pm, no registration necessary, just bring friends and a dish to share. We’ll have the pizza oven hot with pies coming out all evening. The kiln unloading will take place on Saturday at 9am.  The public is also welcome to watch and/or assist with the unloading process.  In keeping with tradition, some of the pots will be available for sale on Saturday morning.  It's a great chance to purchase ware directly from the artists, fresh from the kiln.

Location: Main Campus. Look for Craigardan Event sign at the end of Main Campus driveway (two “doors” west of the farm store, towards Keene). Google Maps Link
