Participants will apply slip and glaze to their previously bisque-fired =
work, then fire in a standard raku kiln. Works will be reduced in a =
post-fire smoke chamber and allowed to cool. The cooling slip and glaze =
crack, allowing smoke to penetrate underneath creating shading, specks, =

15 Fee $245, includes breakfast, firing, all materials. Bring bisque!!!
Have a wonderful time at NCECA to everyone that's going. (I am deep =
chrome-green with envy. But will spend the week building the soda =
kiln... But next year, watch out New Orleans!)
Love all, ya'll!

discount of $10 is available for Wally's workshop until March 27th.
Both workshops at MudFire Clayworks, Atlanta, GA USA. Brief descriptions

She combines pieces formed in molds with some manipulation on the potter's

new ideas for enhancing their own work using plasticene sprigs, polychrome
underglazes, terra sigillata, stamps, slips, and layers of translucent
glazes. Participants will also have the opportunity to use Lisa's molds to
make their own greenware for later finishing. Class size 35 Fee $125,
