Time to Fire up the wood Kiln!


Here is a work by Jeremy Fineman, a great ceramics artist at ECU. This is a ceramic vessell aprox. 9 in tall for $125. Tonight I will be helping fire a wood kiln with him, the kiln needs to be constantly maned for 5 days, so this involves shifts of 8 hours. So from 12midnight to 8am I will be feeding wood into the kiln. The constant fuel is what creates the unique finish to wood fired pieces. After the 5 days the kiln has to cool for a week, then we can show you a few pieces that were fired. Have a great weekend, Jeff
