Diane Kenney, wood-fire and majolica potter, has done a wonderful thing
in setting up the non-profit Carbondale (Colorado) Clay Center. It's a
warm and friendly place. This workshop is interesting in that it
addresses high fire soda pots AND surface. Nancy Barbour is a Univ. of
FL alum who regularly keeps a wonderful sketchbook of things she sees,
and did a lot of printmaking. Much beautiful work is made with the
control of soda process itself as the surface expression vehicle.
Refreshing to consider soda and surface drawings together. Nancy has a
good sense of composition on 3-d form, and much to teach about
personalizing work with surface.
