A ‘Soda’ Kiln Just Added to Silvermine School of Art’s Ceramics Department
|
The Silvermine School of Art ceramics studio has added a soda kiln built by an internationally-known ceramicist, author, and teacher. — an announcement from Silvermine Arts Center
The kiln had its first firing this week, and will make way for new workshops and courses in Silvermine’s ceramics department. The kiln is a significant enhancement for Silvermine’s program; before its completion, the nearest soda kiln in a community art center was two hours away. Silvermine School of Art offers a wide variety of ceramics classes, and spring workshops and courses will begin in April. “We were delighted to have Bruce Dehnert as kiln builder,” said Anne Connell, Director of the Silvermine School of Art, and we are extremely grateful to the Silvermine students and faculty members whose generous donations, matched by Silvermine Arts Center, made the kiln project possible.”
Jon Puzzuoli, Silvermine head of ceramics, teacher, and board member, worked directly with Dehnert over a 3-year period.
