Making Work for the Wood-Fire Kiln, especially hand-built tea bowls
Summer Class | This course is completed
Students will receive instruction on how to make work for the CAC Wood-Fired Kiln! Topics covered will include handbuilding various forms, especially tea bowls, what type of clay to use, modifying the clay with aggregates, and glazing considerations. Aesthetic guidance will be discussed through the use of examples of finished work made by many different artists. Students will also be instructed on the basics of wood-firing.
Firing the work will require registering for a wood-fire workshop after the class has been completed.
- Please Note: This class is planned as an in person class and we expect that it will run the full semester in person. However, there is an ongoing need to adhere to guidance and safety practices in order to safely manage the COVID-19 situation. The guidelines from state government and public health authorities change as time progresses and the CAC may need to make adjustments accordingly. It is possible that this class will transition to an online format at some point during the semester. In this case, tuition refunds will not be issued unless the CAC is unable to provide the same number of class sessions as initially planned either in person or in a remote format.
