Woodstoke Aotearoa 2016

A Challenge… have we lost touch with:

  • The living clay and the firing process?
  • The purpose and privilege of our work?
  • How to share our story with the customer and market?
  • The tribe we are a continuum of?
  • Our youth, the future of clay?

Woodstoke is a chance for answers, a chance to reply, a chance to converge and tell our stories. This is to be a gathering, focussed on making and wood firing the living clay. For the regeneration of our tribe by providing a meeting place. For experiential learning for participants and guests. We believe it is an essential time for us to reconnect.

  • Making pots using local clays, vessels to honour the garden and cook.
  • Making sculptures using local clays, telling our stories, who we are.
  • Building and firing temporary installation kilns.

Adjunct activities:

Earth building, earth plaster finishes, rocket stove building, adobe pizza oven building, olla making, musical instruments and clay mural making
