It is fun and exciting to see your pieces come out of the firing and within
a short time, you are holding your finished piece. 

Lunch will be provided on Saturday and Sunday. We will email a choice of sandwich options prior workshop.

*Participants will need to wear solid toe shoes, long sleeves that are not loose, and long pants during the firings. Aprons would be great to bring and dress for the mess.

Important: Bring a can of Deft or Minwax Spray wood Finish in Satin or Gloss to seal your pieces.

There is lodging and activities throughout the area. We can email you with suggestions.

Preparing your pottery to bring: It is recommended to burnish or apply terra sigillata to the surface of your pots and buff before bisque firing. Firing pots to cone 010 or 1650 degrees is suggested to maintain the luster on the surface. It is acceptable to fire to cone 06 or up to 1850 degrees. Bring 6 pots up to 9" tall and/or 6" wide in dimension.
