Photos of the 2013 bowl-painting session of June 15, in which participants used feathers and brushes to paint resist onto pots thrown by Rebecca Graves and already fired with terrasigulata glaze in Smith's main kiln.
Rebecca Graves watches as Steve Smith demonstrates the technique
Alex Friedman and Rachel Baker listen to explanation of resist technique
Rebecca Graves paints, Jennifer Creighton contemplates
Dawn Comer reflects on the process of painting words on already-fired pot
Melissa Hasbrook gets the feel of a feather in her hand
Steve Smith and Rebecca Graves stoke the kiln
Just waiting for the kiln to get hot enough to refire the pots
But waiting isn't that hard
Pots wait patiently to be smoked in the kiln
Smith inserts the last of the pots, then he'll add green leaves for smoky soot
Sunday morning, time to read poetry, fiction, reflections on art
Just listen to the sound of clay thrown into words
