In this "Color in Salt-Firing" workshop, students will investigate the use
of oxides, slips, glazes, and clays to bring out the variety of colors and
surfaces unique to salt-glazing. Lectures, demonstrations, and discussions will be presented on historic and contemporary use of salt-
glazing. 

Students will bring bisquewares to decorate, load, and fire work (to
Orton cone 7) in our catenary arch wood kiln for the first 3 days of the
workshop. While the kiln is cooling, we will take a field trip to visit
pottery studios and Starworks in the Seagrove area of North Carolina.
