WOODFIRE WORKSHOP - 153263

Intermediate and advanced potters: experience the ancient roots and the scientific heights of pottery by firing a wood-fueled kiln. This is an intense, hands-on process requiring physical labor and cooperation among participants. The end results are lively, fully-functional pots with an organic element. Instruction on how to prepare and glaze pots and sculptures for a wood kiln will be provided through a series of meetings scheduled during the winter and videos. Students must attend the three scheduled meetings prior to the firing, an introductory meeting, progress check-in and glazing instruction. Students must attend loading day, one six hour shift during firing day, and unloading day. All exceptions must be approved by the instructor. Open Studio is not included. Includes 35 lbs of cone 10 clay body and woodfire glazes. Students who want to use a different clay body should discuss with the instructor before they create wares. Registration closes Monday, 12/8.
