(Think of this as pottery calisthenics) You will then move on to a series of round forms to be used for altering the next day.  (...See below..."Practice Makes Perfect") We will transform the pottery made on the first day by using a number of handbuilding techniques.  You'll paddle, roll, drop, squeeze, impress and carve your way through the leather hard pots, giving you the opportunity to try new things.  The focus will be on pushing your limits and taking risks with different ideas.   Please email me if you are interested in coming to this workshop. jeff@jeffbrownpottery.com The cost of the workshop is $120.00 Please send a check to:                                                Jeff Brown                                                188 1st NH Turnpike                                                Northwood, NH 03261 For directions go to www.jeffbrownpottery.com/map1.html Lodging available at: Northwood Motel (click for Website) 603-942-5476 (less than 1 mile from my studio) ...OR... Bed And Breakfast (near by) Meadow Farm Bed & Breakfast www.bbonline.com/nh/maedowfarm Next ''Before the Alter & Beyond'' workshop at my studio will be: Aug. 18 - 19   ''Practice Makes Perfect'' Working in Series    This part of the workshop will focus on enhancing your skills using production pottery techniques...... We will start by making a series of cylinders in three pulls to get your hands used to the motion of pushing the clay. (think of this as pottery calisthenics) You will then move on to a series of round forms, and later we will briefly explore the bowl form and how it differs from the cylinder.   Out of those pieces saved for the next day we will work on handle pulling and making attachments.  The pots from the previous day will also be used for altering and texturing exploration.   Even though you will have a few nice pieces at the end of the second day, the goal will not be making finished pots.  Instead it will be about exercising your throwing muscles by pushing your limits.   Being free from the pressure of making a product will help in developing a fluidity of motion while you work, and give you the opportunity to take risks with different ideas. It may never be your intention to be a production potter, but the practice you get from working in a series will help make each individual pot easier to form, and the ideas you have in your mind flow smoother from your fingertips.           Wood Firing          Romance of the flame    Spring -   Glazing and loading              10am - 5pm Spring -     Loading                                                    10am - 8pm                               Spring -    Firing - in shifts                                                                                             9am until firings end, Sunday evening                     This intensive will cover a number of glazing, and kiln loading techniques used in woodfiring, as well as how and why to control fire and air to not only reach cone 11 to 12 temperatures, but also how to use the atmospheric affects of the flame and ash to draw out the natural beauty of clay and enhance effects of the glazes used. for more details - Wood Firing Details   ...more workshops as the year progresses...     If you can't come to my studio for a workshop... then maybe I can come to your location.  Contact me for prices...   Jeff@jeffbrownpottery.com Jeff Brown Pottery   Northwood, NH  Pottery lessons: Throwing and/or Hand Building Classes are ongoing and You may start at any time...  8-Week  2 hour Classes -     $200.00 Mon. or Thursday -  7:00 pm - 9:00 pm (Afternoon classes available)   8-Week  3 hour Class -     $280.00 Tues. - 10:00 am - 1:00 pm  ...or...
