The summer firing is a community kiln firing and we welcome inquiries from clay artists near and far. Email us if you’d like to fire your work in the kiln and help out with the July firing.

Our wood-fired pizzas are made with local ingredients, with love. Each pizza purchase helps to support artists, farmers, chefs, and more.
Your gift makes an impact on many different levels from the personal experience of our artists-in-residence, to the ways in which Craigardan enriches the culture in the Adirondacks. Thank you!
Celebrating the fire that brings us together
Craigardan’s Summer Firing Celebration is the annual summer event. We come together every July with the local community, alumni, board members and supporters, and extended Craigardan family from around the world to celebrate the warmth and fire of creativity that connects and sustains us. Guests are invited to explore what’s new on campus as we fire the wood kiln, spend time with new friends and old, and enjoy great pizza from the wood fired bread oven. From the silent auction of artwork to the hands-on art making and music, this is an afternoon for everyone. This free, open house style event also helps to support Craigardan’s programs and fellowships and ongoing campus development.
