Opening ceremony for the Ceramics Festival – Plan de Brie – Anduze

Clay Fusion.

Construction of a bottle kiln for the opening of the Ceramics Festival.
Created by Patrice Voelkel, this kiln is made from glass bottles, using clay to join them together … During the firing the kiln is illuminated by the light of the fire seen through the bottom of the bottles and from the flames coming out of the chimney … a show which should not be missed !
The association Planète Terre has planned this spectacular event to capture the public’s attention with its technical complexity and its magic. In order to spark curiosity about the art of pottery and to enable an exchange with the artists present at the festival.

From Saturday 13th to Monday 15th August 2011
