"The scream of chainsaws echoing through a pine forest in Horokiwi signalled the first step in preparing for the 6th firing of the Wellington Potters Association’s Te Haunui Anagama kiln scheduled for 17-21 March, 2010.  This will mark the 6th anniversary of the commencement of the anagama project in March 2004 and the 4th anniversary of the first firing in March 2006."
