This 8-week Cone 10 gas-firing class offers students the opportunity to deepen their skills on the wheel as well as in high-fire ceramics. From forming finished work all the way to the firing process, students will leave with an understanding of how to use Cone 10 glazes as well as developing skills for loading and firing gas kilns.
This class will be co-taught by instructors Kelly Beiermann and Lela Blyler, combining technical instruction with thoughtful exploration of form, surface, and process.
The wheel-throwing portion of this class will take place at Kelly's studio, Nola Clay, in Northeast Portland. The glazing and firing portion will take place at Radius Art Studio on SE Belmont, where students will learn Cone 10 glaze application, loading strategies, and the fundamentals of gas reduction firing. Students will gain hands-on experience with the firing process and develop a deeper understanding of how flame, atmosphere, and materials influence their finished work.
The kiln will be unloaded on May 19th, at 5:00 pm at Radius. Come by to pick up your pots then if you are able! If not, you can pick them up during any of Radius’ open studio hours for the next month.
