The Appalachian Center for Craft Clay Studio
| The clay studio at the Appalachian Center
for Craft is among the finest in the nation. Encompassing over
8000 square feet indoors (heated and air-conditioned) and 3000 additional square feet
outdoors under-roof, there is ample space for all ceramic forming,
glazing, and firing processes. |

Spacious rooms feature a mix of
artificial and natural light, and include a classroom for beginning and intermediate classes, a classroom/studio for
advanced students, four rooms to accommodate artists-in-residence,
visiting artists, and advanced students, a large kiln room, a glazing room, a
clay-mixing room, a clay materials storeroom, a moist clay storeroom, and a faculty office and studio.
Advanced students are each assigned approximately 120 square feet of semi-private studio space, and have full access
to all studio equipment and kilns. |
We mix our own claybodies, and stock six to eight moist
bagged clays for the intro class and workshops. We stock a full
range of claybody raw materials, and all
intermediate and advanced students mix their own claybodies. The studio features a full range of
kilns for gas and
electric oxidation, gas reduction, and raku, plus two wood
kilns, a salt kiln,
and two soda kilns. A large sand pile is available for bonfire and
pitfire processes. |
