Following the Saturday portion of the demo workshop, they will will present slide shows and George McCauley will include his performance about GHOC Products.

decoration and techniques, including underglaze methods, decorating on greenware and majolica on bisque.
Two weeks following the demo workshop, students have the opportunity to fire with George and Phil in the kiln they built at the Mahn Complex in Florence, MT. Participants should count on 3 days for the firing process and prepare for a fun and educational weekend.
