I have really enjoyed your videos - thanks for sharing your techniques! Very generous!

September 6

Location:: I teach and work in a town outside of Boston. It's not as bad as it sounds.

What kind of work do you do?: Thrown and handbuilt. Mostly functional. High fire reduction, raku, wood-fire. Love the look of Salt/Soda and would be interested in learning more about the kilns, the process, the whole she-bang.

Interests:: Clay, biking, coaching my kids, eating really good food, cooking, wine, making my wife laugh, traveling, discovering the new, workshops, kayaking, trying to learn the guitar.

My husband (Donovan) is teaching that one, and I'm sure it will be good (perhaps a little bragging?...but it's the BRAY, how can it not be good?)
The only other kiln building workshop he's doing this year is at Truro, in your neck of the woods. It's a wood kiln workshop, but a lot of the same techniques would apply, of course, and he'd be available to talk soda kilns. It's supposed to be in September... worth checking into...C

I'm going to the Bray this summer to fire glazed work in wood+soda with Josh DeWeese....what a great combination. Can't wait!
