CSG Wood Firing

The Ceramic Study Group now has a wood kiln in the Hunter Valley, 1.5 hours drive from Hornsby and we are excited to begin firing our new kiln soon, expecting to complete several firings each year.
Members worked on building the kiln during a series of workshops in 2024. There were some delays due to weather conditions but we completed the kiln just before the fire season started, so we need to wait for the fire season to end; probably in April 2025.
It will be possible to stay overnight at the property, either in a limited number of sofa beds in a large building that contains a kitchen and bathroom, or camping with access to the same facilities.
