Wiley Hill Mudworks brings Pottery to Londonderry
Wednesday night in Londonderry artists gathered at Wiley Hill Mudworks for the opening of the kiln. Paul Haigh, a resident, is falling back on his hobby to make his new living. Paul finds himself in his basement creating pottery, which he then fires in his wood fire kiln which is located in his backyard. On March 18th the zoning board granted a special exception to Paul to establish his pottery business Wiley Hill Mudworks out of his home. Paul started his love of pottery in high school. After high school Paul continued to create pottery and entered some competitive challenges. A chemist, by trade Paul began to find time to pursue his hobby again these past three to four years.
Paul works on pottery over time and has over 100 of pieces of work when he fires up the wood fired kiln three to four times a year. Each firing takes a cord of wood and the process takes almost a full day. The flame of the wood firing process gives each stoneware pot a warmth and unique character that you will discover more with each use.
