Kazegama Kiln Workshop
Join our 3 Day, hands-on workshop with Steve Davis and his Kazegama or "wind-kiln." The process of introducing wood-ash into his portable gas-burning kiln yields dramatic wabi-sabi results not unlike an anagama firing. Attendees may choose to fire up to six of their own pieces of ceramic work, or be a non-firing observer.

Only 25 spaces are available for firing participants.
Make your reservation today: (909) 865-3146, or frontdesk@ceramicmuseum.org
