Participants should have some clay experience to participate in this workshop. Wheelthrowing is allowed with previous experience. A teacher will be available during studio work time to support participants and provide basic assistance.
During the first meeting, each person will receive 10lbs of clay to create with. Participants may use any equipment and/or tools in the classroom. Works will be wrapped overnight, and participants will return for a second 2-hour work block to finish their pieces. It’s important to remember that nothing will be food safe, so this is a great opportunity to make sculptural and decorative pieces. Participants should also be realistic about what can be made from start to finish within the 5 hours of work time. The minimum size for pieces is 3”x3”x3”. Once works are completed and dry, we will apply terra sigillata and burnish them, before putting them into the bisque firing. We will meet again on November 7 for the pit firing! Participants will need a respirator or an N-95 mask to wear for the experimental oxide application and the first hour of the pit firing.
