DESCRIPTION:A limited number of spaces are available to share the use of the kiln\non this upcoming wood firing. \n\nThe wood will need to be collected, prep'd and stacked a month\nearlier (mid May) to ensure it is dry on the day.\nSATURDAY 8 JUNE: Prep day: organize wood, prep shelves and kiln \nSATURDAY 15 JUNE: packing kiln\nSUNDAY 16 JUNE: firing kiln\nSUNDAY 23 JUNE: unloading kiln\n\nYou will need to bring at least a banana box amount of work for the\nkiln.\nPlease glaze your pieces prior to 15 June so that they're ready to\nload.\n\nThe total cost for a standard wood firing is $520. A deposit of $30\n(members) or $50 (non-members) must be paid in advance to secure a\nspace in the firing. The balance of the firing cost is to be\ndistributed amongst the participants based on how much space they have\nin the kiln. The fire master is in charge of distributing the cost\nbetween the participants which is to be paid at the end of the loading\nday, before firing. Cost includes glaze materials, contribution to\nkiln maintenance, studio use, admin and firemaster fees.\n\nTo potential participants:\n\nWhether this is your first wood-firing experience or you are a\nseasoned Phoenix fan, here are some points for you to\nconsider/remember before enrolling:\n\nThe firing process takes 3 days. Day 1 – preparation (wood\norganisation, shelf and prop washing, wadding prep); Day 2 – wadding\nand loading pots into the kiln; Day 3 – firing. You will be involved\nin all 3 days.\n\nYour pots need to be made from high firing stoneware clay. Some clays\nare labelled as “stoneware” but are in fact mid-firing clays.\nPlease check – clays used need a firing range up to at least\n1280C.  Download a list of suitable clays usually available at WSP\nand information on slips\n[https://www.eventspronto.co.nz/vdb/document/520]. You must be able to\nidentify the clay used for it to be accepted into the kiln. We will\nalso send you some guidelines as to suitable sizes and shapes of pots.\n\nSorry, no previously fired pots (i.e.  re-fires) will go into the\nkiln.\n\nPlease ensure you use only cone 10 glazes. Appropriate WSP Studio\nglazes are identified by “stoneware” written on the bucket lid.\n - manager@waikatopotters.co.nz - https://www.eventspronto.co.nz/woodfire425
