Soda Firing Wadding Workshop
2024-09-07 09:00 - 10:00 | Iowa Ceramics Center and Glass Studio, 329 10th Ave SE, Cedar Rapids, IA, 52401, United States
Soda Kiln Wadding Workshop
Date: Saturday, September 7th
Time: 9-10 AM
Instructor: Rick Tibbott
Description: New for 2024, all Soda Firing Participants MUST attend a Wadding workshop for soda firing dates. This mandatory workshop is intended for currently enrolled students who would like to have work fired an upcoming Soda Firing.
A Soda Firing will produce different effects than our standard High Fire firings. The results are more atmospheric due to the amount of soda ash introduced into the kiln at the top firing temperature. However, this advanced firing technique takes additional preparation and staff hours. In this workshop you will learn about wadding techniques for the ICCGS soda kiln. All artists are required to wad their work for the soda kiln and need to take this workshop to fire in the ICCGS soda kiln.
Participants must be currently enrolled in the session.
COMMUNITY SODA PREPARATION POLICY:
1- Participants must participate in at least one Soda firing-related workshop to understand the preparation and loading processes offered by ICCGS, in order to have their work fired in the Soda Kilns.
2- Participants will add wadding to their own pieces to help save time. Wadding is available two weeks before the firing. All wadding must be completed one day before the loading date, at most the week before.
Link to the soda kiln policy:
https://iowaceramicscenter.square.site/kiln-policies
All classes and workshops are held at: Iowa Ceramics Center and Glass Studio, located in the NewBo district in the Cherry Building at 329 10th Avenue Southeast in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The center is located on the first floor in Suite 117. Please enter the building through the 10th Avenue side of the building.

Each participant will complete at least 1-2 cups or bowls. Projects will then be dried on our shelves and fired in the kiln, then coated with a white glaze and fired again. Your finished projects will be available for pickup 3 weeks later at ICCGS. This class is all about the experience and learning how to work with the pottery wheel. This is a great way for kids and parents alike who are interested in working with clay to experience it firsthand. Minimum age is 9 years old. All skill levels welcome.

Additional Summer Camp Information:
Age Restrictions: We structure our camps by age in order to target our camper’s ability levels for each class. When their camp begins, children must be the minimum age requirement for their camp. In order to ensure the success and enjoyment of our Summer Camp classes, please observe the following guidelines when registering. Please check our updated policies located on our website here for any questions regarding our safety procedures.
Drop Off/Pick Up: for all wheel and glass workshops, check-in and check-out will take place at the main entrance. For all other classes and workshops, check-in and check-out will take place at the entrance to the ICCGS STEAM Workshop (located on the 11th Avenue side), located next to the main studio inside the Cherry Building. Parents/adults must sign their child in and out of camp every day. Sign-in begins no more than 5 minutes before the start of camp. Please be punctual with all drop-offs and pick-ups, all campers should be picked up within 5 minutes after class ends. Please call the office at 319-365-9644 if you are delayed. Unless previously arranged, campers will not be released until the end of class. For the best creative experience, parents/adults are not allowed in the classroom studio space during class time. Parents are welcome to wait in the Cherry Building lobby until the end of class.
What to Wear and Bring: Clay may be messy, so make sure your child wears appropriate clothing and closed-toed shoes. Please make sure your child is wearing clothing that can be easily laundered. For wheel classes, long hair should be kept away from the face. For glass workshops covered thighs are REQUIRED for safety. Food is prohibited in the studio but water bottles (with secure tops) are allowed.
Cancellation Policy: ICCGS reserves the right to cancel sessions due to the minimum enrollment not being met. In that event, participants will be notified and refunds will be given.
Refunds and Transfers: Parents/Adults may cancel their child’s session for a full refund no later than one week (7 days) before the first day of class. A $15 processing fee is required to transfer from one camp to another (if space is available) 7 days prior to the start of camp. No refunds or transfers will be allowed with less than 7 day’s notice.
Completed Projects: Student’s work will be available for pickup exactly three weeks after the end of their session; we will NOT call or email you when items are ready for pickup. All summer camp projects left in the studio after September 5th, 2023 will be recycled.
Please note: when you pick up your child’s items, be sure to have the camp code with you (i.e. 1LA). The code is indicated on your emailed receipt. Every child will have their own brown bag labeled with their camp code and first name. Having the camp code with you is necessary to correctly locate your child’s items, since there will be hundreds of bags. Before coming in, please check studio hours to ensure we are open.
