About

The New England Wood Firing Conference is an opportunity for potters of all stages to create their own high-fire works at one of several Host Kilns. As their kilns cool, they’re invited to visit other participating Host Kilns for an a-la-carte tour, complete with Kiln demonstrations, openings, and sales.

Then, from June 27 through June 28, participants are invited to a weekend of centralized conference events in the New Haven, CT area, an opportunity to experience, share, and grow together.

On Friday, June 27, the conference kicks off with a day of demonstrations, presentations, and a catered gallery reception at Southern Connecticut State University. The Will of the Kiln show, juried by leading wood-fire potters Hitomi Shibata and Nozomu Shinohara, will take place at SCSU’s Buley Art Gallery.

Then, on Saturday, June 28, there will be a pottery tailgate, an opportunity for participants to display and sell newly fired wares at the Massaro Farm, followed by the Host Kiln Show and the Firing Finale.
