East Creek Woodfire

Although the date has not been officially set, it is likely to be sometime in mid April. This is good news as it will allow those of you who want to include pieces from this firing into your AP portfolio. Now is the time to begin construction of pieces made out of cone 10 clay. G-Mix, in the form that we currently have, will NOT work. Umpqua is by far the best option for a clay body since it is made with Helmer kaolin which creates wonderful effects in the reduction environment.
