Join us for the 5th annual Pine Root Pottery wood-firing workshop. This year's workshop is scheduled for August 17 - 23, 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 $600 and it's limited to 6 people. Sunday night dinner is 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. See my links page for local accommodations. We expect the workshop to fill up early so e-mail us or call.

Here’s the basic schedule of events:

Sunday - Arrive at 1:00, Meet everyone, unpack pots, look at glaze examples make cone packs and wadding. Dinner at 6.

Monday – 9:00-6ish.  Wax, glaze, pre wad some pots.
