Aster Caemaert festival program
Thursday August 20
MAIN STAGE – 10:30-13:30 demonstration
FIRE STAGE – 14:30-18:30
Kicking off the Main Stage on Thursday, Aster Caemaert will showcase her signature techniques for throwing large forms — pushing clay to go taller, wider, and bolder than ever. Watch her transform simple beginnings into monumental ceramic works, step by step.
On the Fire Stage, Aster will take you behind the flames as she builds custom kilns and reveals freshly fired pieces each day — no two the same, each a one-of-a-kind creation.
Prepare for a journey of scale, heat, and raw creative energy.
