Guild members have enjoyed taking part in group firings and small kiln building projects over The Dacorum and Chiltern Pottery Guild’s history. Joining a Guild firing is a great opportunity to meet other pottery enthusiasts and professionals with similar interests, enabling an exchange of expertise, good working practice and encouraging an environment for valuable learning experiences.
Since 2022 we have been developing our Kiln building and firing opportunities at The Chiltern Open Air Museum www.coam.org.uk, where we also work with the museum supporting and organising clay activities for museum visitors including the very popular ‘Terrific Tuesdays’.
The kiln building and firing activities, which to date include a wood kiln, raku, smoke firing and a soda kiln, are for DCPG members only. If you would like to know more, please contact Laura Gibbs treasurer@dcpg.org.uk. If you are a member, contact Laura to be added to the Kiln WhatsApp group. Also do look out for events in DCPG members’ mailings – these will give the information you need to sign up for any firings when they are scheduled.
