During the main conference, a series of panelists, lecturers and demonstrations will explore all aspects of wood firing, beginning with a lively discussion of historical, ethical and environmental issues pertaining to the field. Conference panelists will then examine the foundational role that clay has in our practice, and carefully explore, among other topics, aspects of loading, cooling, color, kiln design and marketing.
Interspersed throughout the proceedings will be plenary lectures and keynote addresses from some of our field’s most noted thinkers. Scheduled to run concurrently to the panel discussions throughout the conference will be artist presentations, demonstrations and films all relating to the art and practice of wood firing.
We are complying with all recommendations from the CDC and the North Carolina Dept. of Health & Human Services. Our current policy is “Masks are required inside the building, except when seated in our Café”. This is subject to change as guidance changes.
