Wood Firing & Salt Glazing Workshop
THE FLOOD

June 26-29, 1998
Bristol Studio Session

  The workshop, which happened to coincide with  the dramatic 1998 Bristol Flood, the worst flood since 1927. 

It took out all bridges from the pottery into Bristol village and left the workshop without electricity
for 3 days. 


One of the unique aspects of this event was it had no effect on the workshop, since no electric power is necessary in wood firing.
