We will test, fire and develop a plethora of new recipes to use in your very own practice. Open to all skill levels, hand builders and wheel thrower, potters and sculptures alike, we will establish a foundation for exploring and developing this type of surface treatment. We will end everyday in discussion and presentations of your findings.
