The Oaxacan Workshops take potters into the backcountry of southern Mexico.
This is the world of ancient, traditional potters. We work with indigenous
masters, studying these 4,000 year old, low fire pottery ways.
1999-2000 Field Season
SAN MARCOS WORKSHOP: Dec. 6-11(OPEN), Jan 24-29(FULL). A muddy hand visit
with the Zapotec master potters of San Marcos. We will mine our clay,
process it, build vessels using living, 4,000 year old methods, slip,
burnish and tumblefire our pieces. A week in the heart of this ancient
village of potters gives us an inside look at village life as it has been
forever.
PRE-COLUMBIAN WOODFIRING WORKSHOP: Nov. 8-13(OPEN), Feb. 7-12(FULL). A rare
look at pre-Columbian firing methods currently used in three Oaxacan
villages: Tumblestack surface firing, sunken chamber reduction firing and
ancient, stone kiln firing with tannin staining. The special clay bodies
used as well as finishing techniques, from slip and burnish to oak bark
dying will also be explored.
COST: $595. Includes tuition, materials, hotels, most meals, local transport
and museum entry fees. To tread lightly, trips are limited in size from 6-8
participants.

Hi Barbara!
Here is the info. I took the workshop last December. It was fabulous! I will write a note to Clayart about it this weekend when I have a moment. If you have any specific questions feel free to email me.
