We will end the second day continuing to stoke the kiln and gather with our community for a potluck and artist talk (open to the public). The final day of the workshop will be focused on firing off the kiln and more demonstrations from Nathan.
Attendees are welcome to join us on unloading day on Sunday, May 18th from 10am-2pm for a potluck, discuss the firing results, clean up the kiln area, and celebrate our hard work!
