July 14-19, 2024 : $1145 includes clay, hands-on instruction, bisque firings
There are many considerations a potter must entertain while making pots for high-heat cooking environments including function + utility, cooking methods, using local foods, international recipes, and tabletop culture.
We will explore the utilitarian necessities of a clay cooking pot for use in the oven and broiler, on the stovetop or grill; and the many aesthetic decisions for a beautifully made pot presented directly to the table from the kitchen.
Stovetop pots, casseroles, broilers, bakers, roasters, skillets, sauce pots, pizza stones, trivets are all possible forms that may be investigated. We will begin our pots in the round on the potter’s wheel and then alter into a variety of shapes that will take the form of practical cooking pots
Demonstrations, daily practice, and lively discussion will give participants a solid foundation for working with flameware and for ideas to take shape in the form of handmade pots for slow food and a healthy world.
Glazing and firing techniques will be covered in detail. Participants may opt to soda-fire their pots for an additional fee.
This is a wonderful opportunity to make pots in a spectacular setting in the Pacific Northwest.
This workshop is designed for students with a solid foundation in wheel-forming.
The workshop is limited to 6 participants. $245 deposit to reserve your space.
