Experience atmospheric wood-fire with Dan Barnett at his Watermark Studios in Worden, IL. An atmospheric firing process (salt, soda, and wood) is the interaction of a clay surface with fusible materials that are added to the kiln during the firing process to form a glaze on the clay. Dan has developed a high-efficiency, fast-fire wood kiln that uses a small amount of wood sustainably harvested from his land. After 12 hours of firing, the kiln reaches its full temperature and wood ash glazes the pottery. Please be prepared to bring 8 - 15 (minimum) prepared pieces of bisque ware to the firing.
