KILNCORE
Part of the series Studio Tactics for the End of Capital
Fast. Hot. Experimental.
Welcome to KILNCORE — an afternoon workshop where you’ll learn how to build your own raku kiln using readily available materials, fire your own pieces, and discover what’s possible when you’re not bound by commercial kiln rules. Quick, cheap, DIY — cook your work, your way.
You’ll walk away with:
- The know-how to build and fire your own raku kiln — solo, with friends, or collectively with the studio
- No-nonsense written instructions covering everything we worked on
- Techniques to do what you can’t do in commercial kilns — fast, direct, and experimental
- Access to IN | ARI's new KILNCORE network, where you can hire the kiln built on the day for future firings
What to bring: your own small pieces to fire (think cup size) or use some of our test pieces!
Perfect for DIY romantics, impatient potters, and anyone curious to play with heat, transformation, and immediacy.
It’s the daddy of all workshops.
