Program event

Gail Nichols

Thursday, 9 July 2015 at 1:30 pm

Gail Nichols’ iconic soda fired vessels are thrown and manipulated to create forms sympathetic to her vapour glaze process.  She uses a slow speed dry throwing technique, incorporating upside down forms and coil and throw.  

Gail will demonstrate her making processes, and she will discuss the significance of form, firing and surface.
