TRADITIONAL CONTAINER WORKSHOP: MAKE A BURN-BOWL
October 28, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
$45.00 – $65.00Saturday, October 28, 10 a.m.
CONTAINER WORKSHOP: LEARN TO MAKE AN EXPEDIENT BURN BOWL
As part of our Container series, we have taught how to make clay bowls (from local clays), how to make baskets, how to process gourds, how to make yucca and agave quivers, how to make soap stone bowls (yes, a slow process!), and this time, how to make a burn-bowl. A burn bowl is a piece of a log that we slowly burn out with coals, and then scrape it out to create a useful bowl. You will learn by doing.
We begin with a dry log, and cut select pieces. Then we split them, and you will slowly burn them out to create a functional bowl. In fact, there are many items that can be made by this process.
We will create coals in our fire, which you will then carefully put onto your wood. You let it burn a bit, and then you scrape. You create a little hole, and then you add another coal, and repeat, and repeat. Bring a spoon for scraping. Bring eye protection too.
Sometimes this goes quickly, and sometimes not, so bring your water and a snack.
Probably Hahamongna, but we will send location to registrants.
Limited participation.
$65 ($45 seniors/students)
