Join Us!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n

In this five-day workshop, you will learn the spraying and layering techniques that gives Steven Hill Pottery its unique look. You will use Steven Hill\u2019s glazes, Steven Hill\u2019s spray guns, and receive coaching directly from Steven.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Sunday: Course introduction\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Monday: We will begin with everyone waxing and glazing 2 pots (1-vertical, 1-horizontal), loading a kiln, and firing. Steven will personally coach everyone spraying their pots. This firing will be unloaded on Wednesday morning.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Tuesday: Steven will address ways to achieve the kind of richness and surface variation in electric kilns that potters have come to associate with reduction \/ atmospheric firing. The basic techniques of spraying and the more advanced theories of layering and blending glazes will be explained and demonstrated. Students will wax their pots and develop a plan for glazing.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Wednesday: This is our main glazing day, and the class will be divided into two groups. The morning group will glaze from 9am \u2013 12pm and the afternoon group from 1pm \u2013 5pm. Steven will work with each student as they\u2019re glazing to provide guidance. After the glazing is completed, the kiln(s) will be loaded, and firing will begin.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Thursday: In the morning session, Steven will throw, assemble, and apply slip to a few pots, while demonstrating his approach to making gestural forms. After lunch, Steven will lecture on spraying equipment, firing cycles, and further glaze experimentation.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Friday: We will unload the kilns and discuss the results.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
