A Week of Shino
Code F02CB
We will enjoy one week of firing numerous
shino glazes in reduction kilns. Bring your
stoneware or porcelain bisqueware suitable
for cone 10 temperatures, and we’ll explore
a variety of shinos and some of the techniques
that are possible with this intriguing glaze,
including carbon trapping, wax-resist patterning,
manipulated drying, carbon cooling, and
glaze layering. Have a favorite shino glaze you
would like to share? Bring it along. We’ll also
make deer-tail brushes, and the workshop will
include throwing demonstrations as time permits.
All levels.

Rethinking Wet Plate Photography
Code F02P
In this workshop we’ll explore tintypes and
ambrotypes—two photographic techniques
based on wet plate collodion materials. As we
learn, we’ll take a close look at contemporary
artists who use historic photographic processes
to communicate their ideas. Together we’ll
rethink the photograph as the final product.
You’ll explore the possibilities of these materials,
experiment, and create alternative methods
of display for your photographs. Students
should have basic camera skills and be willing
to work closely and carefully with photographic
chemistry; otherwise the workshop is open to
all levels.

Foundations of Furniture Code F02W
There are so many things to think about
when building a piece of furniture: design,
material selection, joinery, edge and surface
treatments, shop safety, etc. In this workshop
we’ll work through these issues and
more as we each build a small table. We’ll
use machines and hand tools in a cooperative
balance. The goal is for students to build a
foundation of techniques that will give them
more confidence and success as they approach
future projects. All levels.
