August 10-14th - Architectural Ceramics with Peter King. We have also
invited his wife, Xinia Marin, renowned Costa Rican glaze guress, and
hope she will be able to join us. Peter is one of the pioneers of
Studio Architectural Ceramics. He produces elaborate fireplaces,
archways, columns and freestanding sculpture with vibrant ornate
features on a scale viewers are often unaccustomed to seeing in
ceramics. His work can be found in numerous public and private spaces
throughout the US. This workshop will delve into Cone 6 glazes in
reduction as well as spray glazing techniques for architectural work. We
will also work on plaster cast molds, some high relief construction, as
well as hands on installation of the fireplace made in the 2002
workshop. There will be an evening potluck and slide show midweek.
Cost $500.00

The workshop is being hosted in Orangevale, CA, about 20 minutes east of
Sacramento. For more information contact Morgan Britt, FireArt
