2026-06-17 | Powys
New! – Mid Wales Arts are offering a 3 day wood firing experience in the heart of Mid Wales.
Our Girel 3e kiln was built in 2024, an ergonomic, economic and environmentally friendly kiln designed by Jean Girel in 2022. It uses less wood than comparable kilns and fires in much less time giving the opportunity for the experience of wood firing without a large time commitment. The kiln is designed to be energy efficient, both in terms of the wood used and the effort of stoking. Those coming on the course will be able to participate in the full firing experience.
Firing weekend courses will be Friday to Sunday.
March 7,8,9
April 18, 19, 20
June 20,21,22
Sept 26,27,28
Programme –
Friday – Glazing and packing the kin 10.00 – 19.00
Saturday – Kiln firing from 6.00 a.m, finishing around 19.00
Sunday – Morning free to explore the area, afternoon will be unpacking the kiln
£300 per person.
Maximum 8 people
You can bring 12 or so small to medium-sized bisque or raw stoneware pots or come on our intensive throwing course the previous weekend. It is very important that you use appropriate clay to minimise adverse effects on other pots and kiln shelves.
We provide a range of glazes that have been used successfully in this kiln. In wood firing, much of the pleasure is gained by the action of the flame on the unglazed surface of the clay body, so glazing is not always preferable.
We can’t guarantee to fire all of your pots, but we will fire as many as possible.

Optional 2 day throwing workshops, max 5 students Saturday and Sunday before the firing
March 1,2
April 12, 13
June 14,15
September 20,21
Work to be made for firing the following weekend may be bisque fired or kept raw. We provide the opportunity to use the clay bodies that have proved effective in this kiln.
£225 per person, to include clay and bisque firing if required.
Book both courses together for £500. Concessions available.

Mosaic Workshop with Delia Taylor-Brook
Saturday 28 June 10-4 £80 (eventbrite fee applied)
Summer Mosaics: At these workshops you may mosaic a summer theme either onto a curved surface such as a small terracotta flower pot or a piece of slate or wooden MDF board. Themes might include summer flowers, birds, frogs or insects or something else that appeals to you.
Further information: contact office@midwalesarts.org
Travelling from further afield? We have B&B accommodation available
About the tutor: Delia creates beautiful mosaic work using carefully selected pieces of discarded china, tesserae and found objects. Sometimes broken heirlooms revive memories, images tell new stories. Delia is a fine art painter, inspired by nature who became fascinated by the jewel-like colours, designs and patterns of glass and ceramics and the exciting possibilities of this ancient art in combining found objects in new compositions.
The bases for the mosaics and all the mosaic pieces, including tiles, glass, beads, china and ceramics will be supplied but do bring your own pieces if you wish to include them in your mosaic.
