Barrel fire with my pottery students!

A chilly November barrel firing with my students. Snow in the morning made me consider canceling, but we decided to go ahead.

Everybody worked hard to get that fire going, and we decided to do a fairly short, one hour burn. We were well rewarded. We experimented with strands of horse's mane hair, given to us by Wendy M. Thanks Wendy!

More photos to come when I have more daylight.

2014 Summer Handbuilding Pottery Workshop

Summer Hand-building Pottery Workshop

Saturday, Sunday & following Saturday

July 12th, 13th & 19th

10am-3pm

$235, includes all materials.

Registration information at www.bdpottery.com

A lively group workshop fashioned with hand-building techniques that you can use almost anywhere.

We'll start with the wonderfully organic methods of pinching and coiling to create our forms. We'll add slab work, designing with paper templates and a myriad of original textures.
The following Saturday, we'll finish our bisqued pieces with various glazing techniques and, given time, we'll create some single fire works by the methods learned the first weekend. All works will be final fired for later pick up.
