We had a great group - and everyone left with inspiration, excitement and lots of ideas.
Here are some of the highlights...
Tom began the workshop with 4' vessels....
The group learned great techniques....
Then Brenda described the philosphy of saggar firing....
and we loaded our pots
into the fires.....
Back to Tom on Sunday Morning... with large & LOOSE platters.....
He threw....
Flipped.....
And Altered....
Lunch, some clay videos, sunshine and fresh air....
Then the saggar unloading...filled with surprises
treasures....
Oops, Ahhs and more....
We burnished...
Learned about terra sigillata....
And practiced the POETRY OF POLISHING!
Thanks to Tim, Donna, Ivan, Marilyn, Donna (great chocolate cake!!), Jack, Patricia & Karen. You were a great team, a fun group and we all ended the weekend exhausted, inspired and ready to make pots, polish pots, fire pots and alter and loosen up.
Please make comments and read those of your friends & colleagues... and of course, please forward the blog to anyone you think may be interested in our 2009 workshop series.
See you next year...
Brenda & Tom
