STUDIO WORKSHOP 2008

  **Workshop dates can be arranged for groups of 10 or more

            The workshop will begin with a general description of the 2 wood firing kilns that the artist Jeff Shapiro uses for his work. We will discuss loading, glazing, and firing options for the wood firing. The remainder of the morning will be comprised of demonstrations and then participants will begin working with 6 pounds of clay from the studio to make a single piece for the firing. Participants are encouraged to also bring a single bisque piece from any mid range clay (cone 4-8) Size: half cubic foot or less. Clay must not be low fire. This workshop is NOT A FIRING WORKSHOP. The kiln will not be fired during the workshop, but people may visit during the firing at a later date.

Hinako Shapiro will prepare lunch and there will be a discussion about the relationship of food and vessel.

Jeff Shapiro will also fire the wood fire pizza oven and explain the process for building one.

The afternoon will be utilized to complete the piece started in the morning.

The day ends with a final discussion
