WORKSHOPS

Wood Firing Workshop with East Creek

Beat the winter blues by making pots with Joe Robinson of East Creek in January!

We'll start with a 2 day making workshop on January 25-26, 2020 here at Morning Ceramics Studio.

Joe has an MFA from Oregon College of Art and Craft and has been working with clay for 20 years. He owns the 20 acre East Creek forest art studio and retreat just outside of Willamina, OR. He also teaches Art at Linfield College. Joe will lead a discussion and overview about the wood firing process, will show some work from the kiln and firing considerations, and share a series of making demos to get you ready to fire. He'll also share info about the raku and pit firing processes, and how to best prepare your pieces for success. You'll have over a month to make work and get ready to fire.
