Just a note: I received this email yesterday and wanted to let others know
of Svend's workshop.

Hello Joyce,

I trust everything is well in Fredrick and everyone is doing fine
making lots of pottery.
During the Svend Bayer workshop there was talk of an August workshop
on kiln building with Svend. If there is going to be a workshop like that
I would appreciate any information that you could provide.
Looking forward to hearing from you and attending another great =
workshop.
Thank you for your time.

It was great to hear from you. All are well and working hard. We are
firing the wood kiln at Jim Sandford's this weekend. And hope to
fire the salt kiln next week, as school is rapidly coming to an end,
final critiques are 5/8.
Preparations for Great Britain are in the works. I am teaching my
Structural strength throwing concepts at the CPA summer conference: THE
WHEEL July 15 and 16, 2000.

We are looking forward to a great kiln building workshop with Svend
Bayer August 11-17. There is no charge for camping on the site. Bring
food, camping gear and learn lots from the master=21=21 Below is all of the
info., if you want to come register early. I have also included the info
on my upcoming workshops. I hope you are making lots of wonderful
pots. Joyce

Svend Bayer
Kiln Building Workshop
August 11 - 17, 2000 Tuition: =24530
Learn to build a Thai style kiln with THE kiln building expert. =93The old
Thai kilns are gorgeous. They consist entirely of curves and correspond
exactly to the shape of a flame, =85making them one of the most efficient
kilns to fire.=94 Join us to build this curvaceous beauty. Seven full days
packed with plans, information, and hands on experience.

A professional potter firing exclusively with wood, Svend has designed and
built four large wood kilns at his studio the Duck Pool Cottage and still
amazingly finds time to build wood fire kilns for others throughout the
world. Varying in capacity from 250-800 cubic feet. All of the kilns at
Duck Pool have been based on the cross-draught wood fired kilns of the Far
East. Svend believes that the kiln is more than simply a means of
hardening his pots. To varying degrees, the kiln also decorates his
work. Wood firing is a labor intensive method, the disadvantages of having
to care for large amounts of wood and the extended firing times are more
than compensated for by the warm, sometimes subtle, often dramatic colors
and textures provided by the wood fire flashing.

I read through this twice, and I might be blind, but I
didnot see anything that would give me a clue where this
workshop might be taking place.
