    Two More Weeks of Summer Camp

    Our summer was very busy with weekly programs for ages 8-11 in the morning and ages 12-15 in the afternoon. The weekly programs will continue through August 18th and a few seats are still available. Two teachers are assigned to a class with a max of 12 students where 4-6 projects will be completed in a weekly program.


    Raku Workshop - Sunday, October 16th

    One day workshop Sunday, Oct 16, 2005, 10:00 - 5:00PM. Our Raku workshops are educational and remove all the mystery out of raku breaking it down to theory, step by step processes, chemistry, physics and hands-on. Students are required to bring their own bisque pieces or purchase from a wide variety of pieces available at Lakeside Pottery. All pieces are fired in propane fueled kilns heated to approximately 1800 degrees F, and post-reduction fired in containers using organic materials (e.g., newspaper). Lakeside Pottery has the-state-of-the-art Raku equipment custom designed and built to minimize breakage and generate amazing colors and effects.

How can pottery transcend mere function, while still honoring it's intended use? In this two day workshop, Steven will throw and alter pots, demonstrate slip trailing, and use the extruder; all the while communicating his enthusiasm and passion for functional stoneware and single firing.
