As you know, you don't need to be a long-time, career potter to be part of the SAPotters Guild. Many of our members are newer to the pottery-making process and we have this workshop with you in mind.
Would you like to learn how to make your own damp box so you can keep your pieces moist and protected during different stages of construction? Would you also like to learn how to mix and correctly apply kiln wash onto pre-fired cookies? Steve Wheeler will lead this workshop. Steve is the wonderful kiln tech at Oblate Clay and he is also a Guild member, and just an all around great guy!
For your damp box, you will need to bring a plastic storage container with a lid. You can find one at the Dollar Store, Walmart, Office Depot, Lowes, etc. You will decide what size your box needs to be--whether it is long and shallow for smaller items, like cups and plates (18"x 14" 10"), or maybe you'll want a taller and deeper wet box if your work tends to be taller (17.2 qt.) Keep in mind though, that you'll want to choose a box that you can store easily and carry around when it's full of heavy, wet, clay pieces. The lid is a must, so don't forget that!
We will provide the plaster for your wet box and help you mix it properly, which you will take with you at the end of the workshop. We will also provide face masks and gloves.
In addition, we will provide kiln cookies that are ready for you to apply kiln wash. Steve will help you learn the proper consistency and application method which you can also use on your kiln shelves. You will take the cookies with you.
This event is free to all members. Non-members can pay $5 on site. Light snacks will be available as well. Looking forward to seeing you!
