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.   www.jamaicaclay.com Tuition: $TBA  *Please contact Doug Casebeer for more details - [email protected] Code: FJAM0412 60  www.anderso nranch .or g 970/923-3181 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.
