The course blends inspiration from ancient firing techniques with contemporary materials and a small-scale, thoughtful approach, making it possible to work with clay even outside a traditional studio setting.

  • • Enjoy a slow, grounding process that helps you switch off and create something real with your hands.
  • • Learn how to build and finish ceramic pieces designed for open-air firing, using simple tools and adaptable setups that work in a home practice.
  • • Explore a range of kiln-free firing approaches and surface techniques presented with clear context, variations, and guidance so you can choose what fits your space and experience level.
  • • Access everything I learned through my own experiments, including the mistakes and dead ends that took me time to figure out.

The best part

  • âś“ 100% self-paced with lifetime access
  • âś“ Step-by-step video lessons you can pause and rewatch
  • âś“ Learn a practical method you can continue to explore and make your own


What to Keep in Mind

Pieces made this way are not food safe. This method doesn't replace a conventional electric kiln. It's not a universal recipe, it's the approach I developed through my own practice. You'll need to follow fire restrictions where you live and work responsibly with fire and materials.

The course is 18+ and it is not intended for children. 

Hi, I'm Diana Svensk,

I am a ceramic artist working at the intersection of contemporary craft and alternative firing practices. My work centers on pit, saggar, and wood-based firings using locally sourced and foraged materials, where flame, smoke, and atmosphere act as active collaborators. Moving between porcelain and earthenware, I explore the tension between precision and unpredictability, pairing contemporary surface techniques such as underglaze illustration with historically rooted, outdoor firing methods.

Alongside my studio work, I value collective making and develop community-based projects that engage shared firing, ritual, and knowledge exchange as embodied forms of connection and resistance.

Right now, I am working on a beginner-friendly course that shares my techniques and everything I've learned on my journey. You can join the waiting list to get updates and a special discount when the course opens.
