Ceramics
Workshops
Again this year, the Central Utah Art Center will sponsor pottery-firing workshops and will host a special exhibit as part of the Scandinavian Heritage Festival.
This year, workshops will be held to demonstrate two different methods of firing pottery, both of which are quick methods known as “fast firing.” 
The Central Utah Art Center will sponsor a two-day, fast fire
ceramics workshop, Fri.-Sat.
Cost is $100 per person.
Friday
Assemble fast fire wood kiln (fire develops to maturity in four hours)
Wood fire your own bisqueware or purchase ours
Saturday
Unload wood kiln
Set up and fire Raku kiln
Glaze and fire your own bisqueware or purchase ours
The first workshop will begin at 4 p.m. on Friday with construction of an easy-to-assemble wood-fired kiln designed to be portable and storable between firings.
The second workshop will be held on Saturday, beginning at 9 a.m. and focusing on a method known as Raku.
The workshop will be repeated throughout the day “until we have run out of daylight, pottery or interested persons,” says the art center’s education director Ed Henninger, who will conduct the workshops.
The cost of the combined workshops is $100 per person.
Even people who don’t sign up for the entire workshop series are welcome to drop in to glaze and fire pottery, which will be theirs to keep. Raku pottery will be for sale all day Saturday for $20-30, which includes the pot, glaze and firing.
