Woodfiring movie to start the New Year

German potter, Markus Bohm will be at Sturt, Mittagong along with Steve Harrison on the 7th January 2012 for the Australian premiere of the DVD movie "Laid Back Woodfiring"  made about the building and firing of a wood fire kiln in Germany by Steve.
The event is open to all at the
Sturt Clubbe Hall,Frensham School, Cnr Waverley Parade and Range Road, Mittagong
at 1.30pm.
Markus says "In 2009 Australian potter Steve Harrison came to Alt Gaarz, Germany, for a very special kiln building workshop: building, loading, firing and unpacking a bourry box kiln within one week! A beautiful movie was made about this event by the professional film maker Andreas Münz."
