A very special pottery workshop introducing the wonders of wood-fired ceramics! Ceramic artist Roger Bauman is welcoming us to his giant wood kiln in the woods.  Your pieces will be fired in Roger's kiln for 5 days (24hours/day), either in the Anagama or the back chamber.   Wood firing is a magical experience of steady and intense heat (reaching over 2300+ degF); ash, glaze, and fire combine to create an atmospheric firing like no other.  

This is a two-part workshop: Friday, March 6th, from 10-1 pm AND Thursday, March 19th, from 2-5 pm.

Friday, March 6th: at Slip Studio we'll have a 3 hr workshop handbuilding with cone 10 clay.  Make two things from start to finish: 2 mugs, 2 bowls, 2 cups, or any 2 pieces smaller than 6" x 6".  I'll then bisque fire your work, ready for day two.

Thursday, March 19th: we'll take a field trip to Roger Bauman's wood kiln up in Peekskill. You can ride with me or meet me there. We'll get a chance to look around and visit his giant wood. We will also glaze our pieces and get them ready for the wood fire.

If you can't make it to the field trip part of this workshop, I am happy to take your pieces for you.  Once the wood fire is complete and unloaded, I will bring your pieces back to Slip Studio for pick-up.

Many thanks to Roger for allowing us to join his bi-annual communal firing.  Space is limited to only 6 students for this small and exclusive workshop.

    Tamara, a certified OO sommelier from Agape Premium is going to walk us through important factors we should know when buying, tasting, and using extra virgin olive oil.  We will taste and talk about olive varieties and terroir. We will also talk about cooking, usage, and storage for optimal health benefits. Come hungry to learn and eat!  We'll make some dipping oils to taste and of course, wine and nibbles to share.

    The second half of our workshop will focus on making your own garlic grating dish.  We'll have leather-hard small plates for you to paint with slips and underglazes, using sgrafitto tools to make ridges and patterns.  Don't worry, we'll show you how!
