Making Pots for the Wood-Fired Kiln- Morning

Spring Class | Available

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. Students will be able to fire a small number of pieces as part of the "class share" in a wood-firing but firing more work will require registering for a wood-fire workshop that will include 5 cubic feet of space in the wood kiln.

  • No class on 4/16 due to spring break.



    Clay is not included in the supply fee but the aggregates to be added to the clay are included. Clay purchased with your registration needs to be pick up in this semester. Clay purchases do not carry over from one semester to the next when purchased with the class. Clay can be purchased in the office as needed throughout the semester.
