Two legends of Southern Pottery:
Randy Brodnax of Marble Falls, TX

Firing will include copper matte, horsehair, low-fire salt firing using aluminum and clay saggars, naked raku, and mica firing.
This workshop is for all skills levels, don’t be intimidated if you are a beginner. There will be something new for everyone.
