Gary Huntoon
The Wheel is Just Another Tool
July 21-24, 2009
Hill Country Arts Foundation, Ingram Texas
This workshop will focus on using the potter’s wheel as a tool to throw and
alter forms, combining the thrown forms with hand built forms. Some wheel
experience is required. Pieces will only be bisque fired, no glazing due to time
limitation.
Gary Huntoon is a full-time potter from Dallas. His teaching experience includes
the Glassell School and the University of St. Thomas, both in Houston.

Basic Fused Glass and Bronze Metal Clay
October 20—22, 2009
Hill Country Arts Foundation, Ingram Texas
Glass fusing is one of the most
versatile ways of working with glass today. Join in this fun filled,
hands-on, information packed, exciting class. No experience is necessary
and you don’t have to be an artist to learn this technique. Beginners
will make six pieces of jewelry. Learn the basics of glass cutting,
placement and firing while receiving extensive information on the
technical aspects of kiln-work, safety, and studio set up. Tools, glass
and firing are provided. The class will then explore bronze metal clay.
Like its precious-metal counterparts, bronze clay can be pinched,
rolled, sculpted, cut or manipulated any way you like. When fired the
binder burns away leaving a solid, pure bronze object.
