Sturt Wood Fire Weekend

This past weekend we were lucky to go to Sturt, an art school south of Sydney. We were involved in a wood fire, raku and saga fire with visiting artist Bede Clarke (who teaches at Mizzou, small world!). The first two pictures are of Sturt outside.

And then a not so lovely photo of us at the caravan park that we camped at.

This is the kiln where we did the wood fire. Both chambers were packed and then the doors closed in. We started the fire at 6 pm Friday night and finished adding wood around midnight on Saturday. It's all closed up and will sit until Thursday when they will open up the doors. As the fire got hotter and the night darker the flames looked fabulous.

This last photo is a bit fuzzy but is of Owen and I with some of his classmates and Bede.
