Hand Pinched, Stone Burnished Pit Fired Vessels :    September 7th and 8th 9am-2pm with Sawdust Barrel firings to take place evening Third Thursday of October 18th.
Gregory Krepps has been creating hand pinched clay vessels for over 30 years. He is a graduate of Illinois State University and one of the founding members of Midwest Clay Artists.
From his studio in Pittsburg Kansas, he has worked to develop and refine the ancient techniques of stone burnishing and pit firing. It is a very peaceful and meditative process. Participants will create and burnish several vessels on Friday and then refine them and create several more on Saturday. Greg will be the featured artist at Phoenix Fired Art on October 18th for Joplin's Third Thursday Art walk and will bring his barrel to fire in.
Participants who create and burnish vessels in the September 7th and 8th workshop will get to have their work fired in sawdust barrel firings at Phoenix on the October 18th.
