***** “I can’t believe I worked a cumulative 48 hours for a cup. Incredible!”
 
***** “I got splinters, burns, and friends for life!”

  • These are just some of the rave reviews of our first ever Winter Wood Symposium.
 
In December of 2025, potters from all over Florida and beyond congregated at the Morean Center for Clay to sacrifice their sanity at the altar of the kiln to offer their efforts to the ancient art of wood firing. Through the collective struggle and triumph, marvelous ceramic artworks have been produced for your viewing pleasure. Four kilns, forty artists, and countless logs later have made for one spectacular showcase. Witness not only the variety of artistic styles, but methods of firing. Indulge your senses in the decadent ashy drips of the Anagama; the fiery coal crust of the Train; the slick sheen of the Oil/Salt; the juicy rind of the Groundhog. Join us this January in reflection and awe.
