Join us for the 6th annual Pine Root Pottery
wood-firing workshop. This year's workshop is scheduled for June 5 - 11, 2011. 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
