2025 Soda Show

It's the first birthday of the new soda kiln, and we are celebrating in our gallery with a display of soda-fired pots from the first eight firings of the kiln.

Display hours:

• May 7 through 24, 2025
• Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, 12:00-6:00 pm

Our display features pieces made by students, teachers, and community members who bravely sent their work through the new kiln not knowing what would come out on the other side. As it happens, the unpredictability of the soda and flame not only made for some beautifully dramatic results, but also some lovely subtle ones. According to Kay, the firings are a work in progress. She says, "We're still tweaking the process and getting better results all the time."

The display also includes a photo montage of a soda firing in progress. If you would like to experience the soda firing process first-hand, there are still spots in our Atmospheric Soda Firing classes, starting later in May.
