The Art Of Anagama With Darryl Frost

Please note the team firing schedule will need to be organised once numbers have been confirmed. Please let the team know if you have other workshops booked. -- Embark on a journey of discovery in this workshop, where participants will delve into the art of loading and firing a wood-kiln. Over the course of five days, explore the intricacies of kiln loading, discussing techniques for optimising flame flow and kiln performance. Following this, engage in a three-day, two-night firing process, learning to harness the unique qualities of flashed, ashed, and flame-smothered pottery. -- Participants are required to bring the equivalent of two banana boxes worth of bisqued high fire stoneware or porcelain. Participants should bring suitable firing attire, long sleeve/ pants in natural materials only ie cotton, linen, wool. Strictly no polyester fabrics. -- Darryl has been a full-time potter/sculptor since the late 1980s. He grew up in Leigh and travelled to Nelson to study at NMIT in 1989, majoring in ceramics. He has been working as a full-time sculptor/potter ever since. His distinctive style of Anagama wood firing has gained him national and international recognition, as well as several awards, including a Diploma of Honour from Korea. He has also pursued his passion for large-scale multi-media sculpture works, many of which can be found throughout New Zealand in public and private collections, including the Wallace Arts Trust.
