More great news – I have been successful in my Arts Council funding bid to support me to attend a Masterclass in Smokeless Wood Kiln Building and Firing at the International Ceramics Studio in Hungary under the tutelage of the master of the art – Masakazu Kusakabe.It’s a three week course and use of the studios is included in the course so I expect to be completely immersed in ceramics and firing and building and meeting people from all over the world with all the different experiences and outlooks that will bring. For more information see http://www.icshu.org/2011/smokelesswoodfire/kusaka…
This course, along with the visit to the Frith’s kiln in North Wales, will give me greater expertise and confidence to support the programme of work at Manor Oaks.
