NINA HOLE - SITE FIRING

Nina Hole has done a number of these site firings around the world. The form (usually an arch) is constructed over a firebox, then it is wrapped in kaowool and fired overnight. The unwrapping at dawn is an exciting moment, when the form is exposed, red hot!

Nina did an arch on the Napa Valley College campus for the last Clay and Wine 1996. The arch was badly vandalized, and had to be removed.

In the fall of 2001, Nina did a site sculpture in Taiwan. Ah Leon photographed the event, and sent a series of the images to place on this site. Click on the thumbnail to right for the sequence. They are pretty spectacular!
