Daniel Lafferty has over 40 years of pottery production experience focusing on wheel work, natural ash glazes, wild clay and wood firing.

I started making pots at 16 years, experimenting, building different kilns until I completed a Diploma of Ceramics at Canberra School Of Art ANU in the 1980s. This was followed by learning important production skills and spent many hours refining my wood firing techniques with Ian Jones at the Laughing Frog Pottery Gundaroo.  ​

I am a dedicated wood fire specialist potter and instructor. My studio facilities were decimated in the Black Summer Fires so currently I am using the 180 cf wood fired trolley kiln. I like to fire for 70-120 hours duration up to temperatures of 1320`C with the assistance of wood firing teams.
