For the weekend, we have lots of autumn fun, secular and sacred. Autumn Fires is also a kid's paradise for halloween season fun. If you want some unstructured time, plan to arrive on Thursday for a free-form day with no scheduling. Enjoy some time in nature with like-minded folks. Most participants arrive after work on Friday for the weekend. Friday around dusk we'll kick off the weekend . . .

Annual Autumn Fires Community Clay Pit Firing The centerpeice of Autumn Fires is the all-night Saturday firing of the various peices of clay objects that are made during Autumn Fires. From children and novices to artists, everybody can fashion something from the clay! Come give it a try. Throughout Saturday, we make things of clay and let them dry. Around dinnertime, we load our brick-lined in-ground pit and tend the fire. In the morning, we comb the warm ashes to see what the fire has made. Great fun! The firing of clay vessels and other clay objects began with native cultures creating functional wares for use in gathering food and water. Later, the process evolved to include figurines and other sculptural objects. In the past few decades, there has been a renewed interest in primitive firing processes, as artisans become more interested in the spontaneous effects of these firing processes, and the aesthetic and decorative qualities that occur as a result of the fire. |
