We are fired up about this hands-on firing conference!
This red-hot workshop
focuses on alternative firing methods, including naked raku, saggar, pit and salt. Island Clay provides you with a hands-on experience in preparing, loading and firing as shown by five of the
most engaging and influential artists and teachers from around the Long Island region: Anti Liu, Hugh McElroy, Mena Romano, Jeff Shapiro, and Bill Shillalies.
In addition to firing methods, you'll also learn about the differences in throwing, handbuilding and glazing techniques--and which ones can give you the best firing results--and be able to attend a variety of presentations covering ceramic history and its traditions. You are asked to bring some of your work with you to prepare, load and fire using various firing methods as time and space allows.
Don't miss a minute!
