Beg, borrow or whatever to go to this workshop. Malcolm is simply great. I
don't do shino. I don't even have a gas kiln but the week long carbon trap
shino workshop I took with him this past summer was amazing. He's very much
about the "why". He makes you stretch. His stance is positive. He's also
a riot,and a teaser; a true teacher and a wonderful human being. Be
prepared to work very hard because he is also a slavedriver. The nine of us
at the workshop were shattered by the end of each day.
Have I made myself clear? I only get to take a workshop every four years
and I am glad it was with him. I wonder where he'll be in 2008?
Best regards,

known for his for the creation of a unique shino-type glaze formula which
has a high concentration of soluble soda ash, that encourages the trapping
of carbon in the early stages of the firing. He works exclusively with
porcelain to create ‘fresh, spirited, graceful pots for daily use. Malcolm
