Herbster Wood Fired Ceramic Workshop
Each summer participants and visiting artists join Weber at his forest
studio in beautiful Bayfield County, Wisconsin, for a 16-day workshop
that teaches the process of firing a traditional Anagama kiln. The
workshop site is located six miles inland of Lake Superior on 90 acres
of pristine wilderness bordering the Chequamegon National Forest. The
kiln is 24-feet long and was built in 1995 after Weber's many trips to
Japan where he visited artists who fired in this traditional method.
Mike Weber has been wood-firing for over 30 years at his studio in the
forest of northern Wisconsin. He has exhibited his work throughout the
United States, in Europe and Japan. 2006 will be the 19th
summer he has conducted his wood-fire workshop.If you are interested in
learning more about the workshop, or would like to attend, please
