We’re Building an Anagama!

During the Spring of 2024 we will be pouring the foundation, building the shed, and collecting wood. The kiln itself is targeted to be built during 2 weeks in mid-July. We have not-yet set a first-firing date but information will be forthcoming.

The kiln-building will center on a workshop format with everyone who participates in the build earning space in the inaugural firing.

Several sales in the coming months will support the construction efforts.
