Wednesday April 17,24, May 1, 8, 3:30 to 6pm, in class days. 

 Saturday June 1, 10am to 4pm, firing day, June 2 , 11 to 1pm revealing and cleaning day. 

The class will run on 4 consecutive Wednesdays from 3:30 to 6:00 pm, with a 2-week pause for finishing and bisque firing before ending with a full day Saturday outdoor firing session and a shorter unpacking and cleaning session the next day. Included in the price will be emailed PDF handouts and articles outlining alternative firing processes. Each class will start with a "demo and discussion" and then the balance of the class will be guided assistance as participants make their pieces. This firing process exposes pieces to environmental conditions that put a lot of stress on the work. Some experience with hand-building and/or wheelwork and a general understanding of the properties of clay and the firing process is important.
