Come
for a workshop that discusses throwing, altering and finishing in cone 6
oxidation. You will see a vessel transform
from a block of clay to one ready for bisque firing.

Jay Kimball is an award-winning artist living in Mervin,
SK. His artwork explores a
fascination with the interplay of surface, form and colour. Most of his pieces begin at the
potter’s wheel and then got through a series of transformations before
firing. Architectural elements are
carved into wet clay that frame abstract natural forms. Apart from one constant glaze, other
glazes are created intuitively, with years of experience and education guiding
the chemical process. His firing method is oxidation cone six electric. This straight forward firing contrasts
the complex material manipulation that occurs during construction.
