Pit Firing Your Pottery + Community Gratitude Altar with Potluck Date

Welcome to Pit Firing Your Pottery + Community Gratitude Altar with Potluck Date at Artillery AG!

Day 2 - ALL ARE WELCOME IF YOU HAVE YOUR OWN CERAMICS PIECE TO FIRE THAT IS BONE DRY.

Join us for a day of creativity, connection, and celebration. Bring your pottery creations to participate in a traditional pit firing process, creating unique and beautiful pieces.

Additionally, contribute to our community gratitude altar by bringing an item that represents what you are thankful for.

We’ll gather at 10 AM to prepare our vessels and begin the pit firing, with the day concluding when the fire burns down and the pots are ready to be retrieved. Your vessels will be pre bisque fired and ready for pit fire day.

As part of our celebration, we’ll create a Community Gratitude Altar, where you can express thanks through offerings such as flowers, seeds, plants, or through words, songs, or poems.

Potluck: We invite you to bring a dish that celebrates your favorite foods. Share a food item that represents your love, heritage, and contributes to a diverse and vibrant potluck.

What to Bring:

1. Organic Materials: Any organic materials that are completely dried. Coffee grounds, eggshells, tea leaves, banana peels, etc.
2. Potluck Dish: (optional) A special dish celebrating your favorite food. If not, make sure to bring a meal, there is also delicious food in the mission. Let’s keep it as plastic free as possible, we have utensils, knives, cups, and some plates in the studio.
3. Personal Offerings: Items for the Gratitude Altar if you wish to contribute. Flowers, seeds, candles, songs, poems, etc.

Notes:

• The firing schedule may vary, so be prepared for flexibility.
• Ensure your potluck dish is easy to share.
• We will keep posted if weather does not permit for this activity & will re -schedule. For example, fires or rain.
