Pine Root Wood Fire Workshop 2008 |
|
|
Join us for the 5th annual Pine Root Pottery wood-firing workshop with Mark Peters. This years workshop is scheduled for June 1-7, 2008. Participants will bring bisque pots that we’ll glaze, load and fire here at Pine Root. During cool down, I’ll demonstrate some throwing and altering techniques or we'll go on a tour of some local potteries. Last year’s workshop was a huge success. We had a lot of fun and everyone took some great pots home. The cost for the workshop is $650 and it's limited to 6 people. Sunday night dinner and all lunches are included. Just bring about 30 pots (about 10 cubic feet worth). I’ll supply the glaze, wadding, wood and everything else. If you need a place to stay, there are several nearby options ranging from cabin rentals and B&B’s to campgrounds. Bakersville Bed and Breakfast has offered us a 10% discount for this event. We expect the workshop to fill up early so call us at 828-688-1332, or e-mail us for more details or to reserve your space. For more information about Pine Root Pottery click here. |
