“As both a practicing wood fire potter and a high school ceramics teacher, education is a driving force in my personal creative journey.
I see wood firing as a multi-layered creative process; one that commands cooperation and problem solving above all else…. unifying both the educational and creative drive within.
As the founder of the New England Wood Firing Conference, my interest lies in welcoming those of us, both experienced potters and newcomers, to our practice.
It has been a pleasure working with Kiichi in bringing this show into being. A heartfelt thank you to those of you who have chosen to participate in and support our special process.”
