Hot Glazing Pottery in the Wood Kiln: The Big Stir
Loading...
Uploaded by ncpotter7 on Sep 10, 2009
This is a video of me and David Stuempfle from his summer 2009 firing. We fire unglazed local stonewares for 100+ hours in a 30' long wood kiln. Despite using 15 cords of wood during the firing, we help the ash accumulation along by orchestrating big shakes. Over the course of an hour we burn large slabs and work our way down to smaller wood to create a big pile of fine embers. When everything is set, we rake the embers into a pile, kicking any big chunks off to the sides, and use a long piece of wood to fling the ash all over the place. We repeat this at least a half dozen times which results in big drips and heavy deposits of melted wood ash.

hey, glad you found this video. I forwarded your message to Dave. He has been busy building a new kiln along with our friend Andres from Estonia. Glad you got to meet up with Pam & Vernon too. Hope we cross paths one day!
