Through this residential course you will work with our ceramics technician and other course participants to fill and fire (with wood) to a temperature of 1300 degrees. This kiln design at SSW is based on a ‘bourry’ box firebox which is engineered to be higher than waist height and so easier to stoke wood into, and achieve good ash effects on the ceramic pieces inside in a relatively shorter firing time.
Dates: Monday 22 – Friday 26 September
Time: Teaching starts at 10am and finishes around 4pm. Dinner is served at 7pm
Cost: £800 including VAT (includes tuition, materials, consumables, firings, PPE, accommodation and evening meals).
Catering: An evening meal is provided as part of the course Monday – Thursday.
Places: 8 (Beginner+)
Location: Aberdeenshire
