Thrown and Wood-Fired
Session Six: July 28-August 9
Matt Jones
Thrown and Wood-Fired
This workshop will investigate the wood-firing aesthetic as we make pots to fire in Penland’s multi-chambered wood kiln. Although the effects of wood flame and ash are often described as accidental and unpredictable, we will strategize to take advantage of them. Wheelthrowing demonstrations, instruction, and discussions will address the needs and interests of beginning to advanced potters. Loading will be a full day of work, and firing will take two days with students on shifts to stoke around the clock. While the kiln is cooling we will visit area potters and/or have additional demonstrations. Students are encouraged to bring bisqued pots to give us a jump-start on loading this rather large kiln. Stoneware clay. All levels. Upper clay studio.
