Two week Hybrid Gas/Wood Soda (new program) workshop fee is $1600:

In this two week adventure, you’ll dive deep into soda firing with instructor Josie Rovegno of The Potters’ Studio Berkeley. You’ll fire our hybrid gas/wood soda twice so you can experiment with our Cider Creek local clay stoneware and firing variables, and then use what you learned on a second batch of work made onsite. The Cider Creek Collective Resident Artists will help to steer the ship, sharing knowledge and assisting Josie for a peer group immersion experience.

We are offering these programs as affordably as possible and inviting those who can afford more to contribute towards discounts for applicants of historically marginalized communities (especially BIPOC).
