Join Katie White and Joelle White for an immersive, hands-on salt firing experience at Adamah Art Studios. Participants will be actively involved in every stage of the firing process, including glazing, wadding, loading, firing, salting, unloading, and kiln cleanup.

Participants should bring 50–70 bisque-fired cone 10 pieces to be considered for the firing. The first day will be spent glazing and wadding work, followed by loading the salt chamber of the Adamah wood kiln on Wednesday.

The firing is expected to last approximately 30 – 36 hours. Throughout the firing, participants will take an active role in stoking the kiln, splitting and stacking wood, monitoring the firing, and assisting with salting.

Following the firing and cooling period, the group will unload the kiln, clean kiln shelves and equipment, stack wood, and help prepare the kiln shed for the next firing.

Please Note

This is a physically demanding workshop. Wood firing involves extended periods of standing, lifting, carrying and stacking wood, working around high temperatures, and potentially working overnight or early-morning shifts.

Part of participating in the woodfire process is helping prepare wood for future firings, so participants should expect to spend time splitting and stacking wood.

While participants may bring 50–70 pieces, we cannot guarantee that every piece will be fired. The number of pieces loaded will depend on their size, shape, and the available kiln space.

Important Participation Requirements: Participants are responsible for bringing their own bisque-fired work to the workshop and must be present for both kiln loading and unloading. Please plan your travel accordingly, as loading and unloading are essential parts of the wood-firing experience. Kiln space is limited, and firing all submitted pieces cannot be guaranteed due to space constraints and the size and shape of individual works.
