Upcoming events @ Guldagergaard – International Ceramic Research Center.

1. Woodfiring In Late August

We will light up our kiln ‘Embla’ in August. The kiln is a big woodfired cross draught kiln. It is lit up only once a year, so this a unique opportunity.

Guldagergaard offers low price accommodation during the firing. The price for the firing itself varies depending on the space you need in the kiln.

Start up: 23rd August
