27. Wood Fire Pottery at Guldagergaard - May 2021

If you have a passion for Wood Fired Pottery - or want to know more about it, this video is worth the time. It is rather long but woodfiring is a long process.

In the video you will see how we prepare the pots, glaze them, add waddings, stack the kiln, fire it and finally unload it to enjoy the results.

In the end of the video you will find photos of some of the best pots that came out of this wood fire.

I have been to Guldagergaard three times to wood fire. This time I was invited to join by one of Denmarks finest ceramic artist: Christian Bruun. Please subscribe to his YouTube channel - there are about to come a lot more great videos there!    / @christianbruuncph4491
