Most people think of raku and think of a shiny cop Most people think of raku and think of a shiny copper surface. Yes, it can be shiny, but it can give you unexpected surface textures that are different all around the pot. I added some nubs to this pot to make you want to touch it and feel the glaze surfaces.

Having not worked with porcelain much it was time Having not worked with porcelain much it was time to make a plate. Porcelain is fickle, so I heard, the plate didn’t develop the dreaded S-Crack. I’ll attribute that to luck. But after throwing this I applied porcelain orange slip and a red slip at random. The red needs some adjustments! Trimming the inside of the plate revealed the color combinations against a bright white. Join us for the next #potteryclasses in #Sundre starting the 3rd week of March or so.

This student’s mug is beautiful and inspired. A This student’s mug is beautiful and inspired. A mushroom sprouting from the clay of the earth that we use to make the mug. A reminder of our connection with the earth and how it supplies what we need. The lunar eclipse last night reaffirms our solo planets path through the universe. A rare chance to see ourselves by the shadow we cast and know everything we need is on this planet. Join us for #potteryclasses in #Sundre starting this week. Thursday evening is full while other evenings are still available.

Here in Alberta, agriculture is an important part Here in Alberta, agriculture is an important part of our economy. As the seasons change, the fields are worked with ploughs, harrows and fertilizing vehicles. The long flowing lines of tracks break up the flat fields and reveal the contours of the land. The textured surface on the cylinder gives long fluid lines for your eyes to flow over. The variable raku glaze moves details forward or back. It is more sculpture than pottery.

Here is a student`s work from the classes that end Here is a student`s work from the classes that ended in December. With the vibrant, cranberry glaze highlights on this small serving plate, it stands out and sings. I have changed the date of the upcoming pottery classes to start the week of January 21st. To enroll, have a first, second and third choice of days that you are available. With only 5 students per class it helps if you can be flexible. Join us for #potteryclasses in #Sundre.

Try something new again! Add a bit of brown clay u Try something new again! Add a bit of brown clay up against some regular clay and only let them mix when you are throwing them. The clay was formed into a cylinder about 6 cm by 25 cm long with a strip of about 20% brown clay on the long axis. Cut up the cylinder and form balls of clay with little mixing of the clays. When I threw this vase, it was wonky and made popping sounds as it found missed air pockets. Once the pockets were gone it was easy to keep it centered. Each piece made was so different and interesting. Join us for #potteryclasses in #Sundre starting the week of January 21st.

Here is more students work from the classes ending Here is more students work from the classes ending in December. A mug and vase made with the slab building technique. Our next classes start the week of January 14th. For those considering the advanced class, we focus on the wheel. But if you want to just do slab work, that’s fine. Fun for sure either way!!

An interesting piece made by one of the students i An interesting piece made by one of the students in a class. I really like the imperfect glaze. It adds more interest to the tray. It makes you look closer to see the black spots created by the glaze. I have some other students work to fire yet and it will be interesting to see what this creative group have made. Each piece is so different and interesting. Join us for #potteryclasses in #Sundre starting the week of January 21st.
