have just set up my studio in Kilkenny.
Want
to be featured as an emerging artist on musing? All you have to do is
send me some images, a brief write up if you’d like, and a
website if you have it to [email protected] If you could put emerging
artist in the subject header of the email so it doesn’t get lost in my
spam folder that would be great. Thanks!

Mail-In Registration Information [PDF]
Online Registration with PayPal ™ Pre-workshop Instructions [PDF] This two-day, hands-on workshop with Linda and Charlie Riggs will focus on ferric chloride fuming, 2 types of naked raku and horsehair firing. A special emphasis is on the use of pots polished with white terra sigillata. Students’ pots will be fired in or placed into atmospheres where the smoke and/or chemicals produce the final surface color. These colors range from the deep reds and oranges of saggar and ferric chloride firings to the stark black and white designs of naked raku.
