Wood Kiln Build

This week we're putting together our metal support structure for the wood kiln.

We'll be cutting metal, drilling holes in the steel, lifting heavy pieces of metal into place and welding pieces together.

These metal elements are essential—they help the kiln maintain its shape through repeated firings as the bricks heat and expand, and they provide crucial stability for the kiln arch (roof).

If you’d like to be part of this exciting stage, we’d love your help!

Sign up below to volunteer—we’d be grateful to have you with us!

Jan 22nd Thur 11am - 4pm (Cutting and lifting metal pieces into place. We'll need multiple people to help with holding items and inserting rods as we put the metal frame together.)

Jan 23rd Fri 11am - 4pm (Mostly welding and tightening up all the connections from the previous day)

More dates to come!

Kiln site Address - 40 Terry Brook Ln, Hillsborough, NC 27278

Feel free to bring gloves, and masks. We will have some on hand for everyone. Email Delores at delorespottery@gmail.com with any questions.
