Pottery (C0709)
| Full Course Title | Pottery: making and glazing (C0709) |
| Dates | Jul 19, 2010 - Jul 30, 2010 |
| Concept | Which is harder: finding the right glaze for a pot or the right pot for a particular glaze? In this workshop we work on common questions of personal development while focusing on the best surfaces for your work (textures, slips and glazes) and new ways to fabricate pots and pottery parts (form, lids, handles, spouts, feet). Working together, we discover new techniques for creating all the interesting detail that makes an ordinary pot something special. |
| Media & Techniques | The class works at cone 9-10 in reduction, a temperature rich with possibilities for both the traditional and the innovative. If you work in high temperature reduction, this course gives you the chance to dial in on surfaces. If you work in an electric kiln, this course provides surface ideas to translate to the electric kiln. |
| Activities | Through demonstrations, discussions and interaction, we work together to find interesting new surfaces that employ a variety of textures, slips and glazes. We build pots and parts with wheel throwing and handbuilding. |
