and firing will be covered as well as a healthy sprinkling of anecdotes.
Over the 2 days, each artist will present a "solo session" providing =

the opportunity to share slides of their work and discuss their personal
concerns and focus. After each "solo session" there will be a group

This is rare opportunity to witness such cross-fertilization and lively
interplay between some of the masters of the craft.
