Dates: September 8-13, 2026
Location: The Ye11ow Studio, 281 main Street, Picton, ONRegistration Opens: February 16, 2026
FUSION MEMBER EXCLUSIVE: In partnership with The Ye11ow Studio with Dawn & Jay Middleton.
Join a small group of makers for an immersive wood and soda firing in Prince Edward County using a traditional two-chamber noborigama kiln. This FUSION-member-exclusive week offers a rare opportunity to work collaboratively through the full firing cycle — from planning and loading to sustained firing and unloading.
Participants will explore how flame, wood ash, soda, and heat interact with clay to create rich, atmospheric surfaces that can’t be achieved in electric firing. Clay experience is recommended; prior wood-firing experience is not required.
What’s Included
Collaborative kiln loading and firing with guidance from Dawn and Jay Middleton
Firing of up to 10–20 bisqued pieces (size guidance provided in advance)
*Two live Zoom sessions focused on clay choice, form, surface, and firing strategy (recorded)
A pre-firing check-in closer to the firing date for logistics and Q&A
A communal dinner hosted by Dawn and Jay
Time to explore Prince Edward County’s shops, galleries, food, and wine scene
*Participants who register on or before March 15, 2026 will receive access to the Zoom sessions.
