The link below is for a "student" firing I sponsored
at my studio. The team shot is missing some students
as we had people from SUNY Geneseo, Rochester Inst. of
Tech., Roberts Wesleyan and Alfred. This firing
reminded me of the wonderful time I had at Peters
Valley as a "student" firing the anagama with Jim
Jansma and friends. For me that has always been part
of the appeal of the process, it can't really be done
alone. We get to share the experience as well as the
creativity, pots and pigs (see the pics).Of course,
the other part of the appeal is a great shino glaze
(thanks Dick Aerni!) on a fire-flashed, ash-dusted
stoneware.
We salt chamber 2, about 4 lb. but not chamber 1 and
the retriever's name is Cooper and he is a doof.

It was a good firing and something I hope to offer
again next spring. It was done as a kind of
"scholarship" thing with referrals from their profs.
Chances are if there were fees for this, I would not
get to meet these people. I know students have other
"free" pottery opportunities if they can get into an
assistanceship, and I pass on what I know. This was a
pretty low committment deal and they all still have
their jobs!
