Join Martha for a performance obvara firing on Sunday 17th
‍4pm, outside the Change We Must Stage

Obvara firing is an ancient pottery technique from the 12th century, using a raku styled firing, it's a magical process to experience. This is an alternative firing technique using fermented sourdough. Dipping very hot white ceramic pots from the kiln into the mix of sugar, flour, yeast and water gives off great scents of fresh baked bread, whilst leaving unpredictable mottled brown toast like patterns on the surface of the pots.

This link between art and food highlights the importance of supporting our organic food growers. Martha is using organic flour from Merry Mill Co. Laois, the only gluten free mill in Ireland.

The firing will take place outside the Big Shed, so make your way down there for 4ish and look out for the smoke 🔥
