Join us for a day (or two) of barrel firing this Spring! 4/27/24 & 4/28/24
In this workshop you’ll learn how to barrel fire pots - a modified version of the ancient technique of pit firing.
Participants will learn to treat their pots with colorants, copperwire, and organic materials. After we treat our pots participants will learn how to prepare the barrels for a successful firing. Once the barrels are loaded and lit they will burn most of the afternoon, when cool enough to remove, pots will be washed, sealed and ready to take home.
* Barrel fired pots are one of a kind works of art and can not be replicated, they are truly magical
* Barrel fired pots are not food safe and will not hold water, they are decorative only
* Workshop Hours: 10am - 5pm, Snacks and drinks are provided. During the day, tour the property, early spring garden, 1800’s schoolhouse, 1800’s chapel studio, and 1783 home located in the Village of Snydersville, PA
