Devany Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I am considering moving to the Charlotte area. I have a large high fire gas kiln, but would like to rent space in a salt kiln. Anyone know of someone in that area that is doing salt firings? I worked in a guild in CA for a few years and fell in love with salt firing. Thanks! I know this is just a shot in the dark.

bciskepottery Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Check out the NC Clay Club blog and/or give an email to John Britt (on the blog) -- he might be able to steer you in the right direction. Also, there is a Seagrove Potters association that you could google and link up with for info. My experience has been the NC potters are extremely helpful and friendly.

Devany Posted December 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 I contacted John and he got right back to me. Thanks. He does not know anyone, but is checking with some guilds.

Pyewackette Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 I am considering moving to the Charlotte area.

I worked in a guild in CA for a few years and fell in love with salt firing. Thanks! I know this is just a shot in the dark. The Carrboro Arts Center in Carrboro has a clay guild, and they do occassionally rent a kiln from someone in the area to do salt firings - but it's quite expensive IMO, $1000 per firing, so $200 to $250 per person if they can get 4 or 5 people to go in on it, or at least that was what I was told. I don't know how far away Charlotte is, but if you absolutely can't find someone else, and the expense doesn't faze you, that's a possibility. You can google for the Carrboro Arts Center, then go to their pottery classes pages, there's a link there somewhere to the clay guild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devany Posted December 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Thanks! I will check it out. I would go for it if there were no other options and if it was a large kiln. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
