with Fara Shimbo, author of "Crystal Glazes: Understanding the
Process and Materials" (2001, order from http://digitalfire.com).

CRYSTAL SEEDING WORKSHOP, July 12-13, 2003. We'll make some pots and
tiles, and seed them (don't bring stuff unless you can bring leather
hard wares) and fire them to bring out your patterns. Also, special
coloring methods for seeded crystals and influencing crystal shape. $100
for both days Five slots left.


COLOR AND EFFECTS WORKSHOP I August 2-3, 2003 Reduction colors, Raku
effects and use of rare earth elements with and without more common
colorants; use of precious metals in crystalline glazes. $160 for both
days. Two slots left

effects and use of rare earth elements with and without more common
colorants; use of precious metals in crystalline glazes. $160 for both
days. Two Slots Left.


All workshops will be held at my studio (Hygiene, Colorado, about an
hour north of Denver International Airport) and will begin PROMPTLY at 9
AM both days. Attendance limited to SEVEN per class. Half payment
(non-refundable) for each workshop must be received no later than 30
days before the date of the workshop in order to keep your slot;
remainder due when you get here. Nota bene: You'd better like big
friendly dogs and big pushy cats. There are also ostriches here so if
you're allergic to feathers you may want to reconsider.

Hi Fara,
I am so excited. I am going to be able to attend the Color and Effects II
Workshop August 16 and 17. Let me know what I need to do to get signed up.
The event I was going to be attending had to be changed due to the illness
of the coordinator. Can you tell me what I need to bring etc. I was
planning on coming to see you in June but I will wait until the workshop in
Aug since I can't afford to come to Hygiene. If you could fill me in on all
the pertinent info I would be so grateful.
Later,
Ellie
