Wood-firings
cone 10-12
October 31, November 1, 2 & November 8, 2008
Maximum 10 participants - session is FULL
Watershed’s facility includes two wood burning kilns
Led by Watershed’s Staff artists you will be introduced
to the fundamentals of, and participate in, the entire wood firing
process from wadding to wood selection, firing speed to cooling.
Bring work for both kilns, and bring as much work as you like.
We will make every effort to load each person’s work into the
kilns equally before offering up any remaining space to additional
work. Please be advised that very large pieces are difficult to
accommodate, particularly large/wide bowls and platters. All clay and glaze must be suitable for cone 10 temperature
(when in doubt leave it out!).
Cost: $110 per person
Soda-firing cone 9-10
TBA
Watershed's 20 cu ft Catenary arch Soda Kiln is expecting repairs and may not be available at this time. Stay tuned for updates
Experimental-Firing Workshop
Saturday, November 1, 2pm start
Cost: $30, includes materials and fuel for firing
Max 12 participants
Workshop leader Kim Brennan will lead you through this experimental, unique firing experience that can yield
surprising results. Last year, bright purples, oranges and reds were achieved using a combination
of ingredients like copper and sulfur with seaweed in a tinfoil saggar!
Kim is a former grant
recipient of Watershed’s Mud Season and was recently featured in the newly released 500 series
from Lark Books, "500 Plates and Chargers". You can also see her work in the show, “Corners"
Installation of 4 artists in San Diego California in October and Filament Gallery Holiday Show
in November in Portland, Maine. Kim currently teaches ceramics at Kennebec Valley Community
College and Freshwater Arts in Waterville.
