Ceramic Artist Brendan Hayes will be leading a wood firing at Compass Courtyard during October.
Brendan has been working and teaching with clay since the '60s. His journey with wood firing began when seeing a coastal beach kiln firing in St Ives, Cornwall. He then adopted the technique, which actually originates from the Navajo Indians in the southern states of America and has now traveled all the way to East Anglia, England.
Brendan exhibited one of these unique pots at the recent Royal Academy Summer Show in London. And yes, the pot sold on the opening night!
