Cornwall, CT
Cornwall Bridge Pottery operates a 35‑foot climbing kiln that can hold 600 cubic feet of clay. The studio mixes clay according to a specific formula and applies locally sourced glazes before firing with slabwood six times a year, producing roughly 6,000 pounds of pottery each session. The workshop incorporates techniques from English slipware, Tang‑dynasty porcelain, Korean kimchi jars, and French provincial stoneware, reflecting a blend of global traditions. Visitors can observe the entire cycle from clay preparation to kiln firing and see how the pottery is shaped, glazed, and finished.
