New Classroom/Yellow Studio and Outside

2 Days
Thursday, July, 16 - Construction Demo: 6pm - 7pm
Saturday, August, 22 - Firing Day: 9am - 3pm

During the first 1 hour demo lesson students will learn what pieces are successful in the Horsehair firing along with burnishing techniques and advice for constructing their pieces.

During the firing date students will bring their finished bisque pieces, already burnished and fire them. The pieces are pulled from the kiln while hot and horsehair is quickly applied to the pot one hair at a time leaving distinctive and unpredictable black lines with smoke pattern where it burns.
