Scott Barnim Workshop, February 27-28
Participants in this two-day workshop will glaze a load of ware to be fired over the weekend while Scott discusses and throws basic shapes from his production, and talks about what goes into developing a commercial line of work. Scott Barnim has been a pot making potter in Dundas Ontario for over thirty years. He comes from a rural background from a family of craftsmen, and started his training as an apprentice in a production studio.
During the mid 1980’s Scott sub-let his studio, studying in Cardiff Wales for a Masters Degree in Ceramics. Over the 32 years that Scott has operated Barnim Pottery, he has produced several distinct bodies of work, including an extensive line of Salt glazed stoneware, the reduction work that he is currently recognized for, and more recently a continuing body of work in Islamic reduced pigment Lusterware. Scott Teaches occasionally, has exhibited widely, but mostly likes to stay in his workshop and make pots. He is a bit amiably hard-headed that way…
Many people will be familiar with Scotts highly decorated reduction work. A number of years ago he translated his technique to cone 6 oxidation.
During this weekend participants will glaze a load of ware to be fired over the weekend while Scott discusses and throws basic shapes from his production, and talks about what goes into developing a commercial line of work. Scott will bring a number of his pieces to add to the discussion.
Sunday, as the kiln is cooling, he will complete the work from the previous day, talk about the use of press moulds and the importance of finishing and how it relates to surface decoration. This will be followed by a short slide presentation of Scotts studio and his Islamic reduced lustreware. When the kiln is unloaded there will be a discussion of the results. This promises to be an entertaining and informative weekend!
