Mar 16 - Apr 2, 2021

Lyeth/Lyon Kiln Building

Local ceramic artists and potters are invited to work with the Anderson Ranch team in the Ranch’s own incredible wood kilns. Pottery and sculptures need to be made of high fire stoneware and porcelain clays. The glazing takes place with Ranch glazes the day before the loading. Our Studio Coordinator of Ceramics, Louise Deroualle, will plan, load and coordinate the firings in our Noborigama kiln. For more information, please contact Louise at [email protected].

Cost of firing per participant $100 + cost of firing split proportionally by the volume of work each participant has in the kiln.

• March 16-19 | Deliver work/glaze/wad each piece. By appointment.
• March 22 & 23 | Load the kiln. There will be a sign-up sheet for loading shifts.
• March 23-26 Fire the kiln. There will be a sign-up sheet for firing shifts. Shifts are 6 hours long.
• April 2 | Unload the kiln and clean up.

Cost of firing per participant $100 + cost of firing split proportionally by the volume of work each participant has in the kiln.

The Noborigama kiln requires a commitment from participants and is very labor intensive. If you plan to participate you will be part of the whole process of loading, firing and cleaning up.
