In this video workshop, Lisa teaches the concepts behind and the operation of the Rocket Kiln, which is low-fuel, wood-fired, and smokeless! Upcycling a discarded electric kiln atop a uniquely constructed firebox, one can quickly achieve any temperature up to cone 11 in oxidation or reduction. This includes a zoom slide talk, a walk through of several rocket kiln PDF plan handouts, and viewing a kiln firing in action so everyone can experience proper wood prep and firing technique.

In this video workshop Hannah introduces the technique of printing on clay using frameless silk screens. Students will learn how to prepare a screen, including lots of trouble-shooting tips and advice. Hannah helps select images for the most successful screen-printing. She also shows viewers how she uses the screens to print directly onto wet clay or onto newsprint for multi-color paper transfer, and how these printed slabs are turned into beautiful pottery.

In this video workshop, Adero demonstrates how she applies colorful, layered patterns on slabs and how to construct a form using decorated slabs. Throughout the video, she shares ideas, influences, and advice on developing patterned surfaces, as well as details about slips, underglazes, stencils, and other materials used in her process.

The first hour of this video workshop is an introduction to the extruder, making a three-part coffee mug with extruded parts. The second hour is making and using tyvek stencils to decorate slabs.
