Malcolm Davis was in Toronto March 14/15, and Ottawa 28/29, where he
entertained and taught and talked and the result was a workshop filled with
"tips", innovative teapot designs, and lots of fun and laughter. Between
the workshops he stayed at my place where we glazed mucho shino, and fired
in my ITC 100, AND 296 interior sprayed Bailey. Nice crystals. Just
wanted to let others know that if they want a workshop filled with good
information and that is entertaining as well, Malcolm fills the bill. I'll
bring a couple of my mugs from the firing to NCECA. I might just spend
most of my time in the clayart room, as I cracked a rib, but that's another
story. Meticulously loose (very, today) Liz

Hey Liz,
Is it your experience that shinos go all grey and glassy after sitting
in the bucket for a month or so? They must get too much soda into
solution. When freshly mixed up, my shino goes from Dreamsicle
orange through white to jet black. A week later, less orange and
black. A month later, mostly grey.

A good question Steve, I'd be interested in the answer as well.
I've mixed and used about 6 different shinos and carbon traps for wood
firing and some seem consistent but some are nodoubt much better if used
fresh, One in particular does a wonderful crawl and pebble but only when
fresh and of course its also dependent on where it is in the kiln, how much
direct flame etc. 2 of the shinos I've tried and like are Malcolms from the
Troy book.

There is still room in two great shino workshops by Malcolm Davis at Hood
College in Frederick, MD. I have been to several of Malcolm's workshops,
and have always learned a lot and had a teriffic time. Highly recommend
them to anyone struggling with shino glazes or with porcelain.
"From Shino to Shinola - exploring the mysteries of shino"
Feb 19-20, 10am-4pm
(Lecture and reception Friday, Feb 18, 7-9pm
Discussions and demonstrations about form and decoration, glazes and
glazing. Find out the secrets of Malcolm's carbon trap shino and
participate in the formulation of new tests.
"Shino Firing Workshop"
Friday, Feb 25, 5-9 pm
Saturday, Feb 26, 10am until kiln is finished
Sunday, Feb 27, 3-7pm, unload kiln, discuss results, potluck dinner
Cost is $130 for one workshop, or $230 for both. I think that the
lecture can be attended separately for about $5, but check with Joyce
first to be sure.
Contact Joyce Michaud at Hood College Art Department for more information
or to sign up.
