In mid-September Lydia Johnson led a workshop on surface development that drew artists from across New England, as well as Canada and Israel. Lydia shared her unique process of using colored clay, colored slips, and stencils to create patterned ceramic tableware. Through a series of demonstrations and creative exercises, students learned how to make printed, hand built forms using colored clay.

The atmospheric kilns saw consistent use by groups of regional artists. In late September, artist Tim Christensen organized group firings of the wood and gas kilns. Participating artists un-bricked the doors and sold work hot off the shelves during Maine Craft Weekend on October 5 & 6. Visitors perused and purchased work on the kiln pad and visited Watershed's new gallery during the inaugural exhibition.
