Doug Casebeer & David Pinto
SKILL LEVEL: Open to all. Some clay experience
with handbuilding or throwing is helpful.
CONCEPT: This workshop will revel in the centuries-old tradition of wood firing. David Pinto’s
kiln in Jamaica is a hybrid, using the best of
both eastern and western wood kiln designs.
This Jamaica wood kiln is well seasoned and
has produced incredible pots for artists like
Chris Gustin, Randy Johnston, Ellen Shankin,
Takashi Nakazato and many others. This is an
opportunity to work together in an inspirational
setting to discuss, make and fire pots. The kiln
firing will run for two to three days, with lots of
demonstrations between shifts.
FACULTY: Doug Casebeer directs the ceramics programs at Anderson Ranch. He lived in
Jamaica for three years, working on a pottery
project for the United Nations. “Jamaicans are
full of life and vitality,” says Doug. “The Jamaican pace has a way of freeing up the mind. I
always return home invigorated and alive with
my work.”
David Pinto grew up on the island of Jamaica.
Upon graduating from Rhode Island School of
Design, David moved to New York City and
taught at the 92nd Street YMCA. Pinto exhibits extensively in Jamaica and his work is in
the permanent collection of The National Gallery of Jamaica.

Photographing the Magic &
Beauty of Ireland’s South
Andrea Wallace & Emily Fannon
Skill Level: Open to all
CONCEPT: The wild and rugged terrain that is
Kerry has been enjoyed for centuries. Join us
on this eight-day field expedition as we explore
the Dingle, Iveragh and Beara Peninsulas from
a centrally-located country estate near Killorglin.
Our flexible itinerary includes visiting hidden
beaches and spectacular cliffs along the shore,
peaceful lakes hidden away in National Forests,
mysterious ruins left behind by the ancient cultures, and vibrant villages where the Irish heritage comes alive. Each location presents the
opportunity for inspired image making.
We use digital cameras to capture the rugged landscape, lively culture and rich history
of county Kerry in Southern Ireland. Our group
will have daily field trips to shooting on location
at various times of day. We discuss making
the best use of digital photography equipment,
including how to make a good exposure, various shooting techniques and using a tripod, the
principles of good composition and capturing a
panorama. When not shooting, we gather as a
group to discuss the successes and failures of
our image making, producing the digital panorama and how to use raw capture with Adobe
Lightroom and Photoshop to digitally produce
the image you see in your mind.
