The wood fired and salt glazed finishes are durable, long lasting and dish-
washer safe. Our pottery is hand made and wheel thrown, made from stoneware and porcelain clay.

Dog Bar Pottery's Kiln Gallery

The kiln at the pottery is based on a traditional Japanese catenary arch climbing kiln otherwise known as noborigami.  The wood fired kiln is the engine that drives Dog Bar Pottery. The wood and the salt combined with the fire leaves the pottery with the distinctive characteristics, warm  variegated colors, rich textures and stunning highlights.
For more information and insight into how the kiln works, check out the following articles: Kiln Specs., The Fire Inside, Carol's wisdom.
