Workshop outline:
Delighting in the element of serendipity and spontaneous beauty, this workshop will explore the kiss of flame and the natural glaze effects of atmospheric woodfiring in Gaya CAC’s anagama (Japanese-style wood kiln) with visiting woodfire specialist, Barbara Campbell-Allen and in-house woodfirer Hillary Kane. 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. An intensive two weeks: work will be produced in the studio, loaded, fired for 2 1/2 days of stoking, and then unloaded after cooling for the work of the flame to be revealed and displayed. Evenings will be punctuated with slides and films on woodfire.
