Attending April Workshop!!!


I will be traveling out to Astoria, Oregon for a workshop called "The Dragon Kiln Crosses Cultures".It is a two-week event intended for all artists in the region who are interested in the Anagama pottery experience. The event will include a lecture at the CCC Performing Arts Center, featuring a visual presentation by Jack Troy and traditional Japanese koto music by Mitsuki Dazai, a 2-day clay making class, and a 6-day hands-on firing workshop in which the pieces brought or created will be fired in the Astoria Dragon Kiln. Along with the lecture and workshops, Professor Troy will exhibit his most recent Anagama work at the CCC Art Center Gallery.
I will be attending thanks to the generous support of the Ohio River Border Initiative who awarded me with a fast track grant to cover the cost of the workshop.
I am really excited to work with Jack Troy, Richard Rowland, and the Astoria Dragon Kiln community!
