Anagama Information Evening

  • Wellington Potters Association 130 Grant Road Thorndon New Zealand (map)

Come and join us at our Anagama information evening to hear all about our annual firing.

Whether you're a newbie to anagama or been there since the beginning, we’d love to have you at this information night. The Anagama Team will guide you through everything you need to know about s the wood firing process, with samples on display to show how flame, ash, and high heat interact with different clays and glazes.

Because the anagama kiln reaches temperatures of 1300°C, it’s essential to use clay and glazes that can withstand such intense heat. We’ll cover exactly what materials are suitable and what to avoid during the session.

You'll also learn how to get involved in one of the best parts of the process—volunteering to fire the kiln. It’s a hands-on, elemental experience you won’t want to miss.

Please sign up in advance so we know how many to expect—and remember: Only use clay that can be fired to 1300°C.
