Pondside Clayworks & Retreat Center is a transformative space where creativity flourishes.

The Woodfired Train Kiln Project

At Pondside Clayworks, we believe that building something by hand—especially something as beautiful and functional as a kiln—is an art form in itself. Our woodfired train kiln is currently in the works, rising brick by brick on our land with care, intention, and community spirit.

This isn’t just about firing pots—it’s about creating a space where artists, friends, and fire come together. Inspired by traditional Bourry box designs and fueled by a deep love for process, this kiln will be the heart of future firings, workshops, and shared stories.

Want to be part of something from the ground up?
We invite you to join us as we build. Whether you’re a potter, a firekeeper, or just kiln-curious, there’s space for you here. Bring your hands, your questions, and your sense of wonder.

Stay tuned for work days, community builds, and (eventually) our first firing. We can’t wait to fire with you.
