Week-long Anagama Firing Course

 This course offers an immersive introduction to the complete process of firing an anagama kiln, from the early stages of preparation through to unloading and reflecting on the final results. You will bring 15–20 pots to the kiln and work alongside a small group of five other students, giving you the space, guidance, and time to be fully involved in each stage of the firing.

Throughout the course, you will learn about appropriate clays, glazes and slips. Explore how flame, ash and embers can transform clay surfaces. Understand the rhythm and demands of the firing and learn creative packing strategies. Two online workshops will support you before the firing week begins, helping you prepare both technically and creatively so that you arrive with confidence, clear intentions, and work that is ready for the unique qualities of the anagama process.
