Last weekend we had a woodfiring at Murwillumbah Potters’ Group.

The process is arduous and requires lots of wood, muscle, endurance and patience!

Here are some pics of the process.  Click on the small pic, then it will enlarge.  From there, you can click the arrows to go through the slides.  Enjoy!
