SOUTHWESTERN POTTERY WORKSHOP
JULY 19, 20, & 21
WITH COY QUAKENBUSH
AT HIS HOME AND STUDIO
This 3 day, weekend event, southwest pottery class will cover all =
aspects of the Mata Ortiz pottery process used to create black on black =
and polychrome pottery. This will be a "hands on" workshop. Each person =
will be given a handmade pot to work on and have ready to fire on =
Sunday. Hand building using pinch and coil method will be taught to =
form pots from special mix clays. Burnishing, brush making, design =
theory, incising, paint application, clay making and traditional firing =
will be emphasized.
My experience and knowledge allows students to learn from a wide range =
of techniques. Since 2001 I have taught many one to three day workshops =
and, at present have weekly, night classes in my studio. Students learn =
many southwestern pottery techniques including; hand building, =
polishing, painting, and bonfiring. Both oxidation and reduction firings =
are explored. Reduction fires achieve the shiny black on black technique =
made famous by Maria Martinez. Oxidation fires are used to create the =
many beautiful colors of pottery seen in the Southwest USA and Mata =
Ortiz Mexico. From my knowledge of modern ceramics, I have adapted many =
techniques to be used here in North Carolina. Students in my classes =
will learn everything they need to continue making southwestern ceramics =
at home. All skill levels are welcome.
