| Full Course Title | Throwing & Altering Forms for Wood & Soda Firing (C0304) |
| Dates | Jun 21, 2010 - Jul 02, 2010 |
| Concept | Expand the potential of your ceramic work with an intensive look into wood and soda fire process. Investigate contemporary form and its relationship to the firing process, learning how and why vapor (wood and soda) kilns affect form. Discussions focus on craftsmanship, aesthetics and finding your own voice with clay. We also cover kiln design and ceramic material choices appropriate to firing processes. |
| Media & Techniques | We use stoneware and porcelain high-fire clays and a variety of slips and glazes. Throwing and altering techniques are presented along with press molds and some handbuilding techniques. |
| Activities | Students work in the studio every day. Demonstrations are given every morning and afternoon but with plenty of studio time. Regular one-on-one discussions with instructors expand each individual's potential as an artist. |
