In September I joined a group of like minded ceramicists/potters in Wytham Woods, Oxford. It was a very enjoyable 5 days, sharing knowledge and getting hands dirty resulting of two small fast firing wood burning kilns. I say small but both kilns had twice the capacity of my small Rhode kiln at home. The kilns fired to 1280 in 8-10 hours and the plan is to build a similar kiln in my field and use coppiced wood gathered from my hedges and hazels with the aim of a bit of sustainability.
