This was a great week at Red Deer Summer Series doing a soda firing workshop with Rob Froese. I learned so much! Much more agreeable and pleasant weather this week than in Medicine Hat! A small class of only 6 ensured I got all my 14 pieces fired. Great instructor!
Examples of Rob’s work
Ta da! So pleased with the results. Great experience!
Some of Rob’s work:
Spent yesterday learning about encaustic with Blanche Johnston. Yes another rabbit hole to go down. 👍🏼
I spent the last 8 days in Medicine Hat taking a low fire salt and soda firing workshop with Andrew Kellner from Ontario along with 9 others. Wow! What a place. An amazing facility, great artist residence to stay in and interesting history I knew nothing about. Even got a tour of Plainsman Clay. It was hot as hell too!
Katherine Panchuk got ahold of me this week to see if I had anything to donate to her son Liam’s fundraiser for his play that is the only local one accepted to the Fringe this year so I gave her these. I hope they sell!
