been featured on the March/April 2005 cover of Clay Times.
On Saturday Ron will show various throwing and altering techniques in
making functional shapes using a red earthenware clay. Sunday will be a

decorating the pieces using colored slips and stains. Ron plans to show
slides of historical influences and his own work each day.
