Mudpie Potters is very pleased to host Steven Branfman for a truly hands-on
weekend. The focus of the workshop will be on raku glazing & firing
techniques as well as simple raku kiln building. The key word for this
weekend is experimen-tation! Participants will dip, pour and brush glazes
of all firing temperatures onto their bisqued pieces and then fire and fire
and fire again until each student really gets a sense of how the glaze and
surface is affected by changes in firing and post-firing techniques. Space
is limited so sign up early and get ready for an action-packed weekend!
Just to let you know a little bit about Mudpie Potters Community Clay

Northampton. We are housed in the Leverett Crafts & Arts building, home to
18 different artists and organizations including painters, drum makers,
