Jeff Shapiro will be one of the featured artists at the Potter’s Council upcoming summer conference.

According to the announcement, the conference “focuses on alternative firing methods, including raku, saggar, pit and salt. Island Clay provides you with a hands-on experience in preparing, loading and firing as shown by five of the most engaging and influential artists and teachers from around the Long Island region: Denis Licul, Hugh McElroy, Mena Romano, Jeff Shapiro, and Bill Shillalies.

In addition to firing methods, you’ll also learn about throwing, handbuilding and glazing techniques, and how each forming method affects your firing results.”

Further information on the conference and events are available on their website.
