And by dirt, we mean Maho Bay Clay Works!
Studio News for March and April:This has been an active and fun filled winter at Maho Bay Clay Works. From our workshops with Garold Amsberry and Ara Cardew, our fabulous 2011 Winter Season Potter and Teacher, Stephanie and our brief visit from our friend and potter Casey...it has flown by too fast. There are a few cool opportunities coming up before we scatter in different directions, so please check out the following announcements. Thanks to all of you who have joined in by taking a workshop or coming to open studio, or participated in the wood firing we had on January 22. The next wood firing is scheduled for April 9, just before many of you head back to your homes in the States. I hope you will plan some of your pieces for a wood/salt glaze firing. Its a rare opportunity and the results can be really striking. Its also a good experience to volunteer for a firing duty shift...you'll learn a lot and gain a stronger sense of appreciation for this age-old craft.
Thanks again for your participation, All the very best to you! Gail
