SPONTANEOUS GLAZING : Anagama Wood - Firing

Delighting in the element of serendipity and spontaneous beauty, this workshop will explore the kiss of flame and the natural glaze effects of atmospheric wood-firing in Gaya CAC’s new anagama (Japanese-style wood kiln) with woodfire specialist, Dave Hanley. Participants will experiment with the variables of clay bodies and flashing slips, surface texture, and vessel shape as design factors influencing the subtle and dramatic effects of a natural ash surface.
