Combustion and Creativity – Salt Soda and Wood

by | Jul 14, 2012 | | 0 Comments

Ceramics by Opeongo and Wilno area potters 
Tim
Storey, Dan Hill , and Eva Gallagher  
 
 

 
Opens
July 20th, 7-9 pm at South of 60 Arts Centre in Barry’s Bay,
Ontario www.southof60.com and runs until August 26th. 

 
Probably
unique outside of an educational setting in Ontario, their salt, soda
and wood fired kilns are within a half hour drive of each other and this is
a chance to compare the three different types of firing and how they affect
the clay and creativity of the potter.
