Woodfire Survey

27 September – 15 October 2025 | Bond Store Gallery

Opening function - 11am, Saturday September 27, with guest speaker ~ internationally renowned potter, Chester Nealie.

Step into a world where clay meets flame, and nature becomes the artist. This unique exhibition showcases the ancient and mesmerising process of wood-fired ceramics, where each piece tells a story shaped by fire, ash, and time.

Unlike modern kiln firing, wood firing invites the unpredictable - natural ash glazes, earthy textures, and flame-kissed surfaces make every work one-of-a-kind. The results are raw, powerful, and deeply rooted in tradition, yet strikingly contemporary. Join us to experience the beauty of imperfection, the mastery of process, and the enduring magic of this centuries-old technique. Whether you're a ceramic enthusiast or a curious visitor, this is a tactile journey you won’t want to miss.
