Saturday will be devoted to glazing and we will start firing in the afternoon as pieces become dry and ready for the firing. I will provide a clear crackle glaze and two flashing copper luster glazes. I will give out copies of the glaze recipes used in the firings. Sunday morning will be for finishing the glazing as the kiln heats up for the first round of firings. The firings will continue until all is fired. Kiln designs will also be talked about.

"Before
the Alter & Beyond"
Please visit Pottery@Pheobe's
Barn for workshop dates and details
TBA - Throwing,
Altering,
10am
- 5pm &
Texturing
We
will start by making a series of cylinders in three pulls
to get your
hands used to the motion of pushing the clay. (Think
of this as pottery calisthenics)
You will then move on to a series of round forms to be used
for altering the next day. (...See
below..."Practice
Makes Perfect")
We
will transform the pottery made on the first day by using
a number
of handbuilding techniques. You'll paddle, roll, drop,
squeeze, impress
and carve your way through the leather hard pots, giving you
the
opportunity to try new things. The focus will be
on pushing your limits
and
taking risks with different ideas.
Please email me if you are interested in
coming to this workshop.

''Practice
Makes Perfect''
Working in Series
This
part of the workshop will focus on enhancing your skills using
production
pottery techniques......
We
will start by making a series of cylinders in three pulls
to get your
hands used to the motion of pushing the clay. (think
of this as pottery calisthenics)
You will then move on to a series of round forms, and later
we will
briefly explore the bowl form and how it differs from the
cylinder.
Out of those pieces saved for the next day we will work on
handle
pulling and making attachments. The pots from the previous
day
will also be used for altering and texturing exploration.
Even
though you will have a few nice pieces at the end of the second
day, the goal will not be making finished pots. Instead
it will be about
exercising your throwing muscles by pushing your limits.
Being
free from the pressure of making a product will help in developing
a fluidity of motion while you work, and give you the opportunity
to take
risks with different ideas.
It may never be your intention to be a production potter, but the practice you get from working in a series will help make each individual pot easier to form, and the ideas you have in your mind flow smoother from your fingertips.

This intensive will cover a number of glazing, and kiln loading techniques used in woodfiring, as well as how and why to control fire and air to not only reach cone 11 to 12 temperatures, but also how to use the atmospheric affects of the flame and ash to draw out the natural beauty of clay and enhance effects of the glazes used.
