Join us for our Anagama Kiln Firing this spring. Ceramicists will start glazing and loading on Friday, October 9 at 9am. Firing will begin that evening and continue through Sunday afternoon, October 11. Unloading is the following Saturday, October 17.

Interest in our anagama firings is high, so participation is determined in advance by a lottery. Approximately 3 months before our Spring and Fall firings, we hold the lottery and alert selected participants. Click the button below to join the lottery. Signing up does NOT guarantee you a place in the firing. You are just putting your name in the hat. You will be notified about the lottery results shortly after the sign-up deadline. If you get a spot, you will register and pay the workshop fee at that time.

Lottery Sign-up Deadline: July 27, 2026

Lottery Results Notification: August 4, 2026

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.
