Learning from Chris is a pleasure. Beyond his technical expertise, Chris taught me to respect and explore the traditions of potters throughout history. He also encouraged me to look inwards as a source of inspiration. I learned how to make a teapot; I also learned about forgiveness, humor and joy.

Chris Baskin’s soda firing workshop was an incredible hands-on experience. I came in with previous soda-firing experience, but Chris deepened my understanding of the process in a way that made me even more curious and excited about atmospheric firing. I could listen to Chris talk ceramics for hours as his knowledge, passion, and generosity as a teacher are contagious.
I walked away inspired, more knowledgeable, and even more in love with soda firing.

What an amazing firing we had! We finally unloaded the second reduction soda kiln last night. The results were fantastic and we were so happy with them! Even the teacher agreed that this firing was the best so far. I tried some different things and I can’t wait to show you all. A huge thanks to @chrisbaskinpottery for the amazing workshop and am looking forward to the 2nd part of summer class next year.
