" Belly Of The Beast "

Wood Fired Pottery & Sculpture

​
March 1 - April 3, 2023

Atmospheric wood firing is an ancient firing technique which utilizes wood as the sole fuel source inside a brick and mortar kiln.

​
​Meet Peter at our

First Friday Reception:

​March 3rd, 5 -8 pm
​

“The large kilns I fire go for an eight day period being consistently stoked by a crew of potters. Within this time someone is always at the kiln tossing wood in the beast. Temperatures rise to a soaring 2300 degrees. After an eight day cooling period we unload the earthy wares out of the belly of the beast. These works are shared amongst communities to be enjoyed."

What a great team our collective gallery mates are!

After 25 years, we were overdue for some improvements! Now our beautiful space highlights our artwork even better. By upgrading our gallery, we are investing in our future. We used local businesses, which helps keep them afloat as well.
​
Thank you for your support.
