 Woodstoke - Whangamata 16 - 18 March 2012
International guests will lead the charge into the frantic pace of kiln construction, with participants expected to lend a hand and feel the clay under their fingernails. A variety of kilns, from small salt kilns through to large temporary kiln installations will be erected on site, pots made to fill them and then the fires are lit. A pyromania of heat and flame will ensure the weekend is an impression burnt into the memory of all.
There will be the sort of feasting and company that legends are made of and with camping on-site the partying and all night stoking vigils can last until dawn.
