Join us for our Anagama Kiln Firing this fall. Led by Vernon Smith, ceramicists will start glazing and loading on Friday, October 18, 2024 at 9:00am. Firing will begin that evening and continue through the afternoon of Sunday, October 20. Unloading is the following Saturday, October 26.

Visitors are welcome to stop by and observe for free, but you must arrange your visit in advance with the Hambidge office at office@hambidge.org or 706-746-7324.

Would you like to participate as a ceramicist in one of our Anagama firings?
Interest in our anagama firings is high, so participation is determined in advance by a lottery held 2 months prior to each firing. If you would like to receive an email reminder for future lottery deadlines, sign up here. There is a $125 participation fee which includes up to 2000 cubic inches of space in the kiln, with a 1¢ per cubic inch fee for extra pieces, space permitting.
