SUGAR MAPLES

Let’s Fire! Slips, Glazes and Soda Firing: Working Soft on the Wheel

Workshop
August 16 - 21 (Thursday to Tuesday)
10:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Instructor: Gay Smith
Course Fee: $450
Materials: $40
All levels welcome

Bring 10 to 15 bisqued pots to glaze, and we'll fire the soda kiln together. We'll also work with freshly thrown pots, altering form and surface with emphasis on making lively looking pots and improving practical skills. We'll talk about form and surface treatments, slips and glazes that are particularly responsive to the effects of soda firing. Everything from basic throwing techniques to squaring, ovaling, fluting, faceting, altering lidded forms and feet & handles will be offered. We will engage in lively conversations ranging over our interests, technical questions, developing a personal aesthetic, passions, raw glazing, single firing, and firing a soda kiln.
