The wood kiln at the Rochester Folk Art Guild all packed and ready to fire. Loading and bricking up the door only took us an afternoon-it’s nice to have lots of hands on deck to help!
Up at the Rochester Folk Art Guild this week for the wood firing workshop I’m leading. It’s been great fun so far. So much so I haven’t had chance to post any pictures yet. This was from Monday lunchtime. We spent the morning glazing and wadding all the pots and then carried them up to the kiln ready for loading. Thankfully there was a break in the rain, so we could get the pots up there without elaborate schemes. Thanks to one of my lovely students @yannipottery for the photo!
Done. The kiln is empty again. 3 months of making pots, cutting wood and preparing For the firing. 1 week of loading the kiln. 4 days of firing. 1 week of cooling. 1 day to unload. 6 days to sand, wash, price and arrange the pots. 2 weekends to sell them at the kiln openings. Time for a cup of tea. Then the cycle starts up again. Not for me though. The 100th was my last firing at the Hewitt Pottery. It was the culmination of my apprenticeship, and felt like a suitable crescendo to go out on. I’ve learnt so much under Mark and can’t thank him and Carol enough for having me. The time flew by really-I can’t believe it’s been four years. I still have a long way to go to becoming a bonafide potter but I’ve gained enough to see the path. The plan is to work as a journeyman potter for a while: production throwing, whilst also making my own work at home and traveling some. I want to gain more experience and work in different clay studios before building a kiln of my own. It’s strange not having to head down the Johnny Burke Road to the pottery every morning at 8:30am but so far I’m quite enjoying the freedom.
