Projects: 2019 and Onwards

This page lists the projects that involve wood-fired furnaces, mainly in the UK.

Much of the glass that is made at the Quarley wood-fired furnaces is for sale. See this page for the current stock.

	2005 and 2006 Roman Furnace Projects at Quarley (archived here): This is where it all started, and what became the inspiration for many of the wood-fired furnaces that appeared in other parts of the world in the years that followed the Quarley Furnaces. In their turn, these furnaces were inspired by the work of John Shepherd and Gilbert Burroughes in August 1995 (John Shepherd (1996) "Reconstructing a Roman Furnace" in Glass News 2, Winter 1996) (see this page for the article) and reported on 'Time Team' (Series 3, Episode 6), and also by the 'Time Team' Furnace at York in 1999. See this page for a report on the York Furnace.
	2019 IFoG Furnace and Lehr at Stourbridge: This page records the building of this furnace and lehr in our workshop and its setting up at The Ruskin Glass Centre in Stourbridge in time for the International Festival of Glass in August 2019.
	2020 Relocation of the IFoG Furnace and Lehr at Project Workshops: This page records the setup and running of the furnace and lehr in 2020 in their new home at Quarley. It aso records the final firings of this furnace in early and mid summer 2021.
	2021 Construction and firing of the new furnace ('Phoenix') at Quarley: This page records the construction and running of the new, larger furnace ('Phoenix') and the lehr in 2021. It aso records the removal of the IFoG Furnace in summer 2021.
	2022 Phoenix firings, lehr rebuild and new small furnace ('Vesuvius'): This page records the construction and firing of the new small furnace ('Vesuvius') and the small beadmaking furnace ('Etna'), the rebuild and repositioning of the lehr, and the Phoenix firings in 2022. It also records the laying of the new floor and the introduction of the electric kiln for keeping the pots warm overnight.

Much of the glass that is made at the Quarley wood-fired furnaces is for sale. See this page for the current stock.

We will, of course, continue to demonstrate glassblowing at our Summer Exhibition each year, when we will plan to run the wood-fired furnace and to invite guest glassblowers.
