Kiln Firing

• Maximum of 1 share per person.
• To commit to a share, email Matt Wren.
• All participants must be available for each aspect of the firing. We glaze and wad pots on Friday afternoon/evening (1pm on). Load Saturday beginning at 9am, and fire from 1pm on Saturday to about 11am Sunday (if all goes according to plan).
• One share earns you 2, 3-hour shifts at the kiln, or 6 hours. Participation in the loading, and most importantly the unloading, (unbrick door, unload pots, clean posts, grind shelves, wash shelves, sweep kiln pad, scoop out ashes, and in general put the kiln back the way it was when we started, takes about 3 hours.)
• One share is 12″ x 24″ x 30″ of kiln stacking space. Bowl and plate, wait and wait, tall and thin gets in.
