artbyjaida@austin.rr.comAbout the Camp:
These 5-day camps will allow persons ages 8 and up to explore different types of hand-built pieces. Structured for beginners and intermediate artists, we will learn about pinch pots, coil-building and slab-building and apply each method to form the designated projects. This will take place during the first week (Mon, Wed, Fri) and over the weekend your pieces will endure their first firing, known as a bisque firing, where they will reach a temperature of 1945°F. The second week (Tues and Thurs for sessions 1-4, Tues and Wed for sessions 5 and 6) you will glaze your now "bisqueware" using a variety of different colors. After we have finished glazing, your pieces will undergo the final glaze firing reaching a temperature of 2167°F. This last step will then leave you with a variety of pieces to cherish and enjoy! (finished pieces will need to be picked up the following week).
