studio action




This spring, there has been a lot of activity in the studio; students, open studio projects, visitors. All this means lots of pots, and lots of firings to come electric, gas and primitive. The projects are inspiring and the conversations are always stimulating. I am tickled to share all of this .

The snow is finally melted and it is time to fire again. The new kiln is firing too quickly for my taste,but we are starting to get the hang of it. The glazes are simple stone, ash, clay mixes that are showing an interesting range of surfaces and colours. As always, it is an ongoing process. The studio is very busy with my own work, students and open studio. The next session of workshops will be this summer. One week will be hand building with primitive fire  and there will be a two week workshop of handbuilding wit glaze and gas fire.  Those interested should contact me at robinhutchinson@hotmail.com
