CEDAR MOUNTAIN POTTERs
DAVID ORSER
WOOD FIRED POTTERY
I have the wonderful opportunity each year to be a member of the crew that fires our good friend Jody Johnstone’s Bizen style anagama wood-fired kiln. The kiln holds almost 1000 pieces and takes 4 days just to load. It is then is stoked with hardwood around the clock for 7-8 days by the 4 primary potters and helped by a cadre of others in the final push. After a week of cooling, we open the door to find the treasure within. There are always surprises. No two pieces are ever quite the same.
