PrattMWP
Summer
Workshops
in Clay

Plan to attend an informative and relaxing workshop this summer on the beautiful Upstate New York campus of Pratt Institute. Experience the unique possibilities and excitement of firing the salt and/or the anagama kilns at PrattMWP. Both workshops will focus on throwing strong functional forms and will explore the atmospheric firing effects on surface and color. Discussion will include aesthetic approaches, design decisions and firing techniques. Both workshops will include slide presentations, critiques and a field trip to the Everson Museum in Syracuse. A light breakfast of fruit, pastry and a beverage will be provided each day. Clay will be provided at additional cost. Dormitory-style accommodations are available (please call for rates). Professor Bryan McGrath has been head of the PrattMWP ceramics program for more than 20 years. He has more than 30 years college and community teaching experience and has led numerous workshops in throwing and kiln building in the US and abroad. Professor McGrath works are included in public and private collections in the U.S., Japan and Australia. The PrattMWP ceramic studio is one of the best small pottery shops in the country. Housed in a Victorian-era carriage house designed by Richard Morris Hunt, the studio is intimate, yet comfortable, with ample room for exploring all facets of the ceramic arts. A recently completed kiln shed houses the salt and anagama kilns. The beautifully maintained campus provides a perfect setting for a productive stay. Salt Fired Porcelain and Stoneware June 7 through June 14, 2008 Fee- $485 (includes firings) Intermediate to advanced level with Bryan McGrath The eight-day salt workshop will include use of engobes, appliqué and other surface techniques on stoneware and porcelain. All work made during the workshop will be fired, although time may limit some pieces to be bisque fired only. Wood Firing: Firing the PrattMWP Anagama July 5 through July 13, 2008 Fee- $535 (includes firings) Intermediate to advanced level with Bryan McGrath The nine-day wood fire workshop will culminate in a two-day firing of the PrattMWP anagama. In addition to making pots for the firing, students are asked to bring bisqued ware to the workshop to assure a full kiln. Discussion of form, surface and firing effects will lead up to the excitement and camaraderie of loading and firing the anagama. $100 deposit due at registration. Balance due May 1 for both workshops. To register call 315-797-8260 or use PrattMWP Summer 2008 Workshop in Clay Registration Form
