Pit fire pottery

With Andrea Raich, clay building & pottery expert, we make jewellery or other small utensils, which are fired with a pit fire kiln we built ourselves. One of the oldest firing techniques is pit firing. Archaeological findings prove that ceramics were already being made in pits in the Neolithic Age (ca. 4000 BC).

Pleasure in the experimental design of ceramic surfaces. The pit firing offers the possibility to create coloured surfaces without the application of glaze, only with the help of fire, smoke and the addition of various natural materials, salt and oxides. This creates a lively, inimitable surface.

On Friday from 10 to 13 o'clock we potter together and start the drying process. On Saturday from 17 to 18 o'clock we build the pit fire kiln and start the firing. On Monday evening 6 p.m. or Tuesday noon 12 p.m. the ceramics are finished and can be taken home.

Costs: 15 Euro. With the proceeds we support the "Vinschger Waldkinder".

Maximum 10 people.

Those who cannot come on Friday can bring their pottery for the pit fire on Saturday. Please make an appointment: +39 377 3737616

What is the infrastructure?

We do pottery in a large fire teepee for 80 people. We limit the number of people to 10 per tepee. We have three tepees, which stand idyllically surrounded by trees and the mountains on the fairground of the municipality of Taufers. There is a large kitchen and space for luggage in the wooden house. There are sanitary facilities and enough space as well as a swing. Parking lots are nearby.

How is the food supply?

We have self-catering and we cook together over the fire or on the stove. Please bring something for Friday, which we can share with each other, as well as food, if possible vegan, which we can use for meals.

Health & personal responsibility

We support the call for "safe into the new start" Please read the information here: https://neustart.provinz.bz.it/sicher-in-den-neustart.asp

In addition to the official demand for personal responsibility, we would like to make the call for personal responsibility more precise: The cleaner everyone keeps the air, the more likely they are to have a healthy time together. Depending on the level of air pollution, viruses can develop a particularly dangerous combination, since pathogens can mix with toxic fine dusts and can more easily switch off the human immune system.

Therefore, please keep the air clean from toxic compounds (car exhaust, cigarette smoke, spraying deodorants in closed rooms). Air is the number one foodstuff.

The current assembly regulations; see "Health & Personal Responsibility" must be followed. In case of non-compliance the liability of the organizer is excluded. The exclusion of liability extends to the whole event, where liability for slight negligence is excluded. Some workshops like working with tools are subject to subjective as well as objective dangers, therefore the instructions of the workshop leaders and the safety instructions should be followed. The organizer assumes no liability for accidents. Participation is at your own risk and responsibility. Each participant must decide self-critically and on his own responsibility whether what he is striving for corresponds to his skills and must inform himself comprehensively before the start of a workshop, as well as in the case of tours, about the current weather conditions and the degree of difficulty of the tour.

We are looking forward to a wonderful summer day with you.
