Fire & Ice - Pottery & Glass Festival
Posted May 25, 2007
Mark your calendars for Fire & Ice: September 15 & 16, 2007. This will be Studio 1219’s first Festival featuring the Citizen’s First Pottery & Glass Studio. A committee of potters and educators are planning this Educational Festival for the Blue Water Area. We will be Raku firing for the Public. What is Raku? It’s an ancient firing process for pottery that gives you beautiful metallic looking glazes through a reduction process. Just purchase a plan bisque piece of pottery, sit and glaze it; then, watch our talented artists fire it in the Raku Yard at the festival. The process takes about one hour and leaves you with a beautiful decorative piece of pottery.
We will host a Pottery Olympics on the county stage that is open to anyone that pre-registers. Who can throw the fastest? Who can throw the tallest–blind folded? The audience will determine the winners! Check out the Arts in Action Tent filled with potters, glass and wood artists demonstrating their talents. Don’t forget the kids… they will have a great time in the Children’s Art Experience Tent with glass, and clay projects. It’s all for FREE.
Call to Artists is on going until September 1st, 2007. Just download an application (PDF - Artist Application) for the festival and submit it.
Volunteers: Even if you’re not an artist you can still participate, we need lots of volunteers; download the Volunteer Form (PDF) that gives you opportunities to help in other areas.
