Stoking a wood-fueled kiln requires constant, around-the-clock monitoring for several days, so the group works in shifts to fill and fire these kilns. The extra effort is worth it, creating atmospheric work and unique glaze results.  While tending the kiln, the artists get to visit together and share ideas. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn Troy Bungart’s own words:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“I especially like wood-fired pottery because each wood kiln - even each firing - imparts a unique quality to the finished pottery.  I can look at a piece I’ve made and tell you what kiln it came out of.
