# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Wild Pottery - Smoke Cloud
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 29 Aug, 2026 at 10:30 am – Sun, 30 Aug, 2026 at 05:00 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: An immersive two days in the woods learning how to dig and process wild clay, make your own pots, and fire them successfully in an open fire. The fire leaves permanent, unpredictable and beautiful ‘smoke cloud’ markings.

The tools and technology we’ll use on this course are, as far as is known, the same as used in Neolithic times on these lands, when pottery began. Wild Pottery connects you to the origins of this ancient human craft.

What you’ll learn
How to dig, process and prep wild clay for open firings.

How to make pots using simple hand-building techniques

Day 1: Earth & water We’ll dig clay onsite and you’ll learn how to identify it in the landscape. You’ll process the raw clay, learning how to make it strong enough to survive the fire.

We’ll discuss the ‘what, why, how’ of temper and you will make your own to add to the clay.

There will be time to make a couple of items, using simple hand-building techniques.

Day 2: Fire & wood We’ll prep the site together and organise the firewood for firing your pots in an open fire.

You’ll see the pots glowing red hot as the fire transforms them into ceramic. It’s an exciting and magical process.

Your pots will be cool enough by the end of the day to take home with you.

This course covers all the technicals in depth and detail. For this reason it’s recommended as a foundation for my other Wild Pottery courses.
