ALTERNATIVE FIRING SURFACES
October 11-13, 2013 | Minneapolis, MN
Playing with fire
We have five talented presenters who will provide instructions on alternative firing surfaces, firing processes and different types of kilns. We will be doing three hands on firing sessions: raku, aluminum foil saggar, and pit firing. You’ll learn skills to create your own approach to surfaces and how they relate to different alternative firings. Presenters will show you how to play with fire and have you ready to experiment in your studio.
Whether
you throw or handbuild, this conference has something for you to take back to your studio. This conference is open to artists at all levels: from enthusiastic amateur, to the teacher, and for the professional. No matter your skill level, if you’re open to learning and connecting with other ceramic artists then this is the conference for YOU!

Discuss how to fire a raku kiln and how to convert an electric kiln into a gas-fired kiln suitable for raku; Learn how to fire large work in a small kiln; How to apply decoration in alternative firing processes: raku, carbon marking, saggar, smoke firing, drawing on bisque slabs, applying latex and glaze, and the addition of luster lines; to create rich colors and microcrystalline surface details; Participate in hands on firing: aluminum foil saggar, pit firing, and raku horsehair and feather.

movie day: Treasures of Chinese Porcelain

Treasures of Chinese Porcelain (2011)
In
November 2010, a Chinese vase unearthed in a suburban semi in Pinner
sold at auction for £43 million – a new record for a Chinese work of
art. Why are Chinese vases so famous and so expensive? The answer lies
in the European obsession with Chinese porcelain that began in the 16th
century.

emerging artist: Noelle Horsfield
I was raised on a farm in Southern Ohio where I spent my time reading
books, playing in the woods and creating things to amuse myself. I
have always known that I needed to make art, so after high school, I
attended a variety of colleges, all majoring in fine arts, as well as
spending time at Haystack Mountain School of Art. My love of making
things led me to try my hand at a wide variety of mediums before I
finally fell in love with clay.
When my husband Scott and I married in 1997, we decided we wanted to
experience living in different areas of the country, so we moved first
to Northwest Indiana, then to Maine, then to Massachusetts, and, due to
family needs, finally back to Ashland, Kentucky, which is near the homes
of both of our parents. With hard work and time, we transformed our
basement into a functional and inspiring ceramics studio where I now
spend my days creating beautiful pottery and ceramic art.

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!
