Exploring Native Materials

All Levels
July 24 - July 28, 2023

In this workshop, we will focus on using locally sourced “wild” materials in our pots. We will work on the wheel to make better pitchers, mugs, jars, and teapots. 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 in the electric kiln. Take your work to the next level by using materials that could be right in your backyard!
