Prehistoric Pottery Workshop with Keith Grenoble
​May 21-23, 2021

3 day workshop. $525 class fee includes meals and lodging. Learn how to make, decorate and fire pots plus much more !

Keith's description of his class:
  
 " Clay is a common soil type within just a few miles of anywhere.  In this class we will learn to assess clay soils, modify them, make, decorate and fire pots.
  The First day we will focus on the making of bowls in the rough. Second day will be about refining our pots and decorating then shifting our focus to fire building skills. As the evening settles in is when we stack the kilns and let er rip! 
  Like Christmas morning... Sunday AM you ll find me sneakin a peak at the pots studying the tales of temperature gradients.  After a short walk around looking at the landscape for signs of clay and where I might expect it, we will unpack the kilns and jump into conversations about use and care of your cookware. 

  If sitting on the ground is not comfortable for you, please bring a folding chair or stool and a board that will fit on/across your lap. A folding tray table is also a possibility, with a board. "
