Kiln Building with Renato Costa e Silva e Kerstin Thomas

Sign up for this course and pay in four installments.

Are you thinking about starting to make ceramics but don’t know where or how to fire your pieces? The lack of a kiln to fire ceramics is an obstacle difficult to overcome as it requires a large investment that most people are not ready to make. Fortunately, there’s alternatives!

In the KILN BUILDING WORKSHOP, we will build small gas or wood fired ceramic kilns where we can fire our pieces with great care.

On the first day we will make small ceramic pieces with different pastes that are best suited to firing in rudimentary kilns. We will learn how the kilns work so that we can then fire them in complete safety.

At the end of the third day we can take our ceramic works out of the kiln, draw conclusions about the firing processes and, of course, take them home.
