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 have fired our new kiln quite a few times now. We will have 5 or 6 firings a year. Some photos of the new kiln and firings can be found below.
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, and had our first firing in May of 2025.
It is 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.
Joining the wood-fire group is easy:
1. Become a financial CSG member.

3. After joining you will be sent more details and will be able to email any questions you have. You will be kept informed of any happenings relating to wood-firings such as future firing dates, etc.
