In this workshop we will focus on using locally sourced native materials in our pots. We will work on the wheel to make pitchers, cups, jars, and teapots, and expose the character of the clay by cutting, faceting, and slipping pots. Students are encouraged to bring samples of rocks, shales, and clays that are local to them. We will process these materials and make simple glaze blends to fire along with our pots in the reduction and soda kilns. Please note that we will not be sourcing materials from the Haystack campus to preserve the delicate habitat. All levels welcome.
