Devil's Oven Turns 3 – Anniversary & Opening Celebration on June 14, 2025

On 14.06.2025 from 12.00, you are cordially invited to attend the opening of the oven with the removal of the vessels from the oven. Aizkraukle municipality craftsmen will also be participating in the event to present their works. Various masterclasses will be offered.

Black slip pottery is an ancient pottery tradition. Each firing of the oven is a unique and sacred moment, as new vessels are created. The vessels are handmade and fired in a wood-fired oven for 8 to 10 hours, reaching temperatures of over 1000 degrees, with open flames breaking through the stack of vessels. Playing with the fire creates unique patterns on the dishes.

You are cordially invited to attend the opening event and spend time outdoors enjoying the hospitality of the owners Gunita and Mārtiņš Skaistkalns. See you there!
