SUMMARY:Clay Pit Fire Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Learn and participate in an ancient form of firing pottery that uses natural materials and requires no gas or electricity during this two-day program. You choose a small pre-made (bisque) clay vessel to decorate with different colorants\, as well as learn the process of burnishing surfaces on some leather hard clay. After filling the earth pit with various natural combustibles and the pots\, we begin the firing process. Typically this lasts a few hours\, then the pit is covered and left overnight. In the evening\, all participants can attend a potluck style dinner followed by a short presentation on the history of pit firing\, particularly its significance in indigenous communities of the Southwest. You may camp or stay in a guest room overnight\, with a nature hike and then brunch in our caf  the next morning. During the hike you can collect a burnishing stone to take with you for future work. By afternoon\, the pit should be cool enough to unload and we can talk about ways to finish the pieces with waxing or just leave them as-is.
