Earth, Glass, Fire Workshop
Domaine de Boisbuchet, France
July 17 - 27, 2011
This course at the design retreat center, Domaine de Boisbuchet, located in Lessac, France, used a unique type of wood-fired kiln to simultaneously fire ceramics and melt glass for glassblowing. The design references traditional wood-fired techniques and, at the same time, provides a contemporary sustainable approach to high temperature ceramics and glass production.
The 2011 course was taught by designer Max Lamb, ceramics professor Fred Herbst, and glassmaker Lewis Olson.
