First Kiln Opening of 2021 is Saturday April 24 at 1:00pm

We're excited to share that we will have our first firing of 2021 this Thursday! John will load the kiln and brick in (close) the door Wednesday He'll get in almost 200 pieces of pottery of varying sizes.

This firing will take the better part of the day and then the cooling period lasts about 36 hours. This means that we'll have our first Kiln Opening in 2021. And you're invited to watch this rare moment (we have 10-11 firings a year).

The actual Kiln Opening will be on Saturday April 24 at noon. Masks are required. The kiln room is small, so we'll allow up to 4 people. Families can all enter together. The kiln is in a shed, next to the studio, which has open doors and good ventilation.

We hope you can come and experience this special moment in our pottery lives.
