Soft, indirect light will help reveal the texture, glaze variation, and form in ways that harsh direct lighting cannot. Letting light wrap around the form reveals the subtle details, if you can’t avoid bright reflections, sheer curtains can help soften the light hitting your piece. Light boxes or tents (available on Amazon and other sites) can be relatively inexpensive and come with materials included that help diffuse light evenly. Some even have adjustable lights, granting you more control about where the light comes from. Consider using a bright window on a cloudy day, a light box/soft tent, or taking photos outdoors in the morning or later afternoon when the sun is lower in the sky. Avoid using direct sunlight, overhead room lighting, or using the flash on your camera. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/94e36278-17b5-4c21-b80c-2fe6b5038300/Barbara%2BWise_Lamp_2024_Business%2BCard.jpg Guild Blog - Sharing Your Work Through Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/ef0c927e-d176-47fb-8f0f-6f61ef124f46/PXL_20260204_143439926.jpg Guild Blog - Sharing Your Work Through Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/03c2954a-0133-47f5-9674-f1d498987097/JO-03.jpeg Guild Blog - Sharing Your Work Through Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1782361051571-JXM99DVYFQHSG9SRLFCK/photo_2026-06-25_00-17-17.jpg Guild Blog - Sharing Your Work Through Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/e7729c7d-bfe6-49cc-ba06-7ce1871c0f17/2_1b6081b6-f198-4d32-8981-7bd66c4d6165_1800x1800.webp Guild Blog - Sharing Your Work Through Photography Smartphone cameras are more than capable and perfectly adequate for taking photos for social media, our website, and small print materials.

At this stage the plaster mold is still soft so the interior can be carved to add further detail, and the sides can readily be cleaned and smoothed using a surform tool (grater), scrubby pads, and sponges. The mold should dry for at least a week before using it. Plaster molds breakdown with use, and while average lifespan is variable, making 60 - 80 casts from one mold is a reasonable expectation. Dara suggested making silicone casts - like the one shown here - to have sturdy templates for making replacement molds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1779628118559-IAWF6YLH2WQNG8ZB8YPA/Liv+mold+square.jpg Guild Blog - Plaster Molds Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1779628120768-UPV40IM0QH6L6PC1YY0A/member+mold+square.jpg Guild Blog - Plaster Molds Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1779628124776-WCKHETEJ942745PXY98M/Sandy+mold+square.jpg Guild Blog - Plaster Molds Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1779628125837-LK854BWQ9NCSQKB6R6X5/Z+mold+square.jpg Guild Blog - Plaster Molds Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/3c07ac8d-9f2f-4838-bff3-cdcbd691500c/PXL_20260502_174352256.jpg Guild Blog - Plaster Molds Workshop - After our little fortresses were built, we each calculated the volume (length x width x height) to a height of 1” above the highest point of our tile, then subtracted the approximate volume of our tile to determine how much plaster was needed to fill the space. Dara carefully explained how to calculate the volume measurements and then convert those measurements to grams of dry plaster and water needed. She discussed important points for mixing and pouring plaster such as timing, and tips such as lightly spraying the plaster surface with alcohol if bubbles form. Masks and gloves were highly recommended! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1779631580302-8EEII7MH5Z2KK7RPF6DR/participants+weighing+plaster.jpg Guild Blog - Plaster Molds Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1779632082031-H89HBFKVUFN584K12X22/measuring+plaster+2.jpg Guild Blog - Plaster Molds Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1779631580255-SNY22A49KPKMZN9FESN3/lynda+pouring+plaster.jpg Guild Blog - Plaster Molds Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1779632192203-E3G81M92Q6YB49PHT19J/rectangle+mold.jpg Guild Blog - Plaster Molds Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/3a8a5fc7-bdad-45f1-94b4-7d535d1f1a94/cleaning+up+the+mold+compilation.jpg Guild Blog - Plaster Molds Workshop - After about an hour, the plaster was set to a point that we could peel off the clay walls and scrape away the tile model. The tile needed to be scraped away carefully so as not to damage the underlying plaster. In many cases, after scraping down a corner of clay the rest of the tile could be gently peeled away. For silicone models, lightly spraying the surface with a releasing agent prior to pouring the plaster can be helpful. Once the clay was removed, cleaning up the mold was a matter of personal preference. As mentioned above, surform tools and scrubby pads were used to smooth the outer walls, and additional carving could be added to the interior design. A soft sponge can help smooth the design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1779634551925-BBVEE26J32N6ZPKBO5Z6/triangle+mold.jpg Guild Blog - Plaster Molds Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1779634551836-RR9L249R0R7PIV4IM2OS/smoothing+mold+walls.jpg Guild Blog - Plaster Molds Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1779634543410-TTG6B9I8J7PHV5BAK3RI/PXL_20260502_185308546.jpg Guild Blog - Plaster Molds Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1779634543983-DDDN3KC1DALQDC7ZXR29/finished+mold.jpg Guild Blog - Plaster Molds Workshop https://www.blueridgepotters.com/guild-blog/lisa-orrs-rocket-kiln-workshop-at-crab-orchard-pottery monthly 0.5 2026-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/7e128c9c-3572-4a5f-a11e-99bb6e9803fb/IMG_5918.jpg Guild Blog - Lisa Orr’s Rocket Kiln Workshop at Crab Orchard Pottery - Make it stand out Lisa Orr with concrete bricks that will support the kiln body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1775581584498-L1UM5KUCXHVAJ3I1D3SM/IMG_5989.jpeg Guild Blog - Lisa Orr’s Rocket Kiln Workshop at Crab Orchard Pottery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1775581583450-Z9CBLG24K6CXRSA61RRW/IMG_6037.jpeg Guild Blog - Lisa Orr’s Rocket Kiln Workshop at Crab Orchard Pottery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/55914d59-e313-493b-992e-021dcea04677/IMG_6029.jpeg Guild Blog - Lisa Orr’s Rocket Kiln Workshop at Crab Orchard Pottery - Right: Close up of the firebox, fueled by scrap cedar. We were asked to bring four or five bisque-fired and glazed, mug-sized pots for the event. We loaded both kilns on Friday evening. It was a magical time starting both kilns. Once a match was layed to the fire box, which was loaded with a bit of newspaper and scrap wood, things happened quickly. Full combustion started almost immediately with NO smoke. None! Potters took turns feeding small-diameter scrap wood into the firebox. The evening had the feeling of sitting around a camp fire chatting with new friends in the cool twilight. I kept waiting for someone to break out the S’mores! The truly astounding thing was achieving Cone 10 in the new kiln and Cone 6 in Lisa’s portable in less than four hours! And did I mention there was NO smoke? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1775583711876-2FOAESEYVL89Z29UXQSA/IMG_6032.jpeg Guild Blog - Lisa Orr’s Rocket Kiln Workshop at Crab Orchard Pottery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1775583712015-VJBADULMINMURXS2VRS9/IMG_6036.jpeg Guild Blog - Lisa Orr’s Rocket Kiln Workshop at Crab Orchard Pottery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1775583717281-3J6HD7U7UAZJ89KU89BF/IMG_6042.jpeg Guild Blog - Lisa Orr’s Rocket Kiln Workshop at Crab Orchard Pottery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1775583716608-WW2G9F1LXB564A2UW3FL/IMG_6040.jpeg Guild Blog - Lisa Orr’s Rocket Kiln Workshop at Crab Orchard Pottery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/c816b8d5-994b-40e5-9ef2-ae4f828ae6b9/IMG_6041.jpg Guild Blog - Lisa Orr’s Rocket Kiln Workshop at Crab Orchard Pottery My compliments to my wonderful new friends and their camaraderie. Don Reed and his wife were friendly and generous hosts. Lisa Orr is a remarkable teacher. She patiently suffers fools like me well. No question is too small or inconsequential. She made sure everyone experienced everything. For example, we needed to use a surface grinder to cut through the side wall of the kiln. She asked, “Who hasn’t used a surface grinder before?” Those who raised their hands were collaboratively taught to use a surface grinder! Her kindness and gentle spirit, her deep knowledge of ceramics, and her willingness to innovate made this weekend unforgettable. https://www.blueridgepotters.com/guild-blog/from-corporate-to-clay-building-kona-clay-from-the-ground-up monthly 0.5 2026-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/2969d9ad-7e98-400d-8dfb-29826c7e86d2/image2+%281%29.jpeg Guild Blog - From Corporate to Clay: Building Kona Clay from the Ground Up - The Idea That Wouldn’t Leave Fast forward 2025, pottery has clearly became more than a hobby. It became the place where I felt most like myself. I started dreaming about having a studio — not just a place to make work, but a space where other people could reconnect with their creativity too. The idea felt impractical. We now had two toddlers and another little one on the way, A full-time job. A mortgage. All the “real life” things that tell you to stay safe, don’t take risks. But the thought kept coming back: What if I actually did this? In August 2025, I secured a studio space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1772798604980-1ISMQKNKTKX5P7PDRZ1Z/image1+%281%29.jpeg Guild Blog - From Corporate to Clay: Building Kona Clay from the Ground Up - The Challenges (Because There Were Many) Opening a studio isn’t just about throwing pots. It’s rent. Insurance. Kiln logistics. Electrical capacity. Flooring that can handle clay slurry. Budget spreadsheets at midnight. Doubt at 2 a.m. And then there’s the emotional side: “Will anyone join?” “Am I charging too much?” “What if I fail publicly?” Starting something new while raising three little ones teaches you humility quickly. There were days I was drafting membership structures with a baby in my lap and answering emails between bathtime and bedtime. But there was also clarity. I didn’t want to build something massive and impersonal. I wanted to build something intentional. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/33aa9635-3060-43a3-b0ea-554a5e054533/image0+%283%29.jpg Guild Blog - From Corporate to Clay: Building Kona Clay from the Ground Up - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/91e046c1-10ba-471f-8935-4e8d8e45c0d5/7dce975b-7530-45af-9479-d5df20dfddfe-1_all_65526.png Guild Blog - From Corporate to Clay: Building Kona Clay from the Ground Up - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.blueridgepotters.com/guild-blog/were-more-than-just-a-show monthly 0.5 2026-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/3c46dc13-ded7-420b-90d6-705d2df87865/unnamed1.png Guild Blog - We’re More Than Just a Show! - WORKSHOPS Each year the Guild hosts at least two workshops led by well-known ceramic artists. In 2025 our workshops covered stencil-making by Shalya Marsh and throwing really big pots by Lee Hazelgrove. Other recent topics and instructors have included slipwork with Chris Lively, sculptural demonstrations with Chris Gryder, carving techniques and airbrushed underglaze application with Molly Walter, and sculptural teapots with Julie Elkins. Workshops are open to our members and the public, with discounted pricing for members, and free registration for art teachers! Plans are in the works for this year’s workshops, we hope to be announcing details soon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1771883207474-CL3Q8FFPUEOK014ILAY2/surface+layers.jpg Guild Blog - We’re More Than Just a Show! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1771883060612-OT7KA74C2O71KSR30P2S/molds+clay+college+2.jpg Guild Blog - We’re More Than Just a Show! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1771882517578-PV1QDVHRAG72NGNNP0E8/making+molds+clay+college.jpg Guild Blog - We’re More Than Just a Show! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1771882518906-90LMMUDKD5F3I62G2YFF/more+surface+stuff.jpg Guild Blog - We’re More Than Just a Show! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1771882519612-186TYBYR0WRTQUSZCGOS/surface+stuff+clay+college.jpg Guild Blog - We’re More Than Just a Show! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/c56beb57-403b-4d94-9cfa-adc45c1992e8/IMG_2315.jpg Guild Blog - We’re More Than Just a Show! - THE STUDENT SHOW The BRPG Student Show – hosted at the Salem Museum - features the talent of local high school and middle school ceramic artists. Last year’s display showcased the artwork of over 100 participants representing 8 schools. At the end of the week-long event, a closing reception is held for students, teachers, and the public and several awards are presented with ribbons and cash prizes. The student show usually takes place towards the end of the spring semester. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1771860075068-65QG5C9G1PYKB4JDLK6H/image0+%282%29.jpeg Guild Blog - We’re More Than Just a Show! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1771860083523-8SKBF2YIBEFIM0GHK55P/IMG_2316.jpeg Guild Blog - We’re More Than Just a Show! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1771860086121-ELFBDIVPXV2OXRBP7UCC/IMG_2317.jpeg Guild Blog - We’re More Than Just a Show! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1771860087559-Y0JOOOFZNEIKJPDJFPNU/image2.jpeg Guild Blog - We’re More Than Just a Show! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/71a98bb6-54e3-4c52-962a-2b86bf5967a3/scholarships+logos.jpg Guild Blog - We’re More Than Just a Show! - SCHOLARSHIPS The Guild currently provides two main forms of scholarships. One set of scholarships is for clay classes at local pottery studios and are randomly selected from free entry slips at our Annual Show and Sale. At last year’s show we gave away multi-week classes to the Brambleton Center and Common Clay Collective in Roanoke, and to Studio 228 in Vinton. The second set of scholarships is for the Women Working with Clay Symposium at Hollins College. Each year the Guild awards several scholarships for this event selected from applications. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/6ef05823-9b4d-48c4-892d-2bd5ef8d41d1/1000026272.jpg Guild Blog - We’re More Than Just a Show! - EMPTY BOWLS Empty Bowls is a grassroots movement by artists and crafts people around the world to raise money for food related charities in their communities. The Guild participates in Empty Bowls through its membership requirements - each member is expected to donate at least two items to support Empty Bowls events at Ferrum College and Smith Mountain Lake - and some of our members help with these events. This year’s Ferrum College Empty Bowls will be held March 15th and supports Panther Packs - the Ferrum Elementary School backpack program which sends food home with children throughout the school year. The Smith Mountain Lake event will be held April 18th. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/a0ed36c3-9bac-4c2f-8cc9-cb1936b052f6/1000025853.jpg Guild Blog - We’re More Than Just a Show! - Make it stand out A throwdown gathering produced dozens of bowls for this year’s Empty Bowls event at Ferrum College. https://www.blueridgepotters.com/guild-blog/aspirations-for-2026 monthly 0.5 2026-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/83b4c193-3a6d-4b62-96a7-b164b40fb9f1/photo_2026-01-21_11-37-14.jpg Guild Blog - Aspirations for 2026 January and February have always felt more aligned with a natural creative cycle. It marks a period of recovery, reflection, and replenishment. Most of us never really stop thinking about our craft (and for those who can, I admire that skill), but this quieter season invites us to let creativity move differently than the rest of the year. Instead of producing, we plan. Instead of executing, we imagine. This is a time to step back from the physical act of making and look ahead at what we want our work and our creative selves to become. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/5c78aef7-883d-403d-a43e-eb912d7c4794/1000022094.jpg Guild Blog - Aspirations for 2026 - “My most pressing goal this year is to get my studio thoroughly cleaned up and organized. Since expanding my workspace, my limited pottery time has been spent mostly preparing for shows, so I never really had a chance to get everything properly organized, I’m pretty excited about really settling into the space. As an overall goal for the year (and admittedly a recurring goal, but I’m not giving up), I hope to do better maintaining a steady workflow, so I don’t end up in the cycle of being all-consumed with production around shows. Then all-consumed catching up on everything else in between. Related to that, I want to be mindful about setting realistic expectations for production which also allow time for associated activities that, for me, oftern get neglected - like reading pottery books, studying glaze chemistry, and working on my website.” - Zenah https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/87c57303-f11c-4cc4-b417-c5b9b27414ec/1000022090.jpg Guild Blog - Aspirations for 2026 - My resolution this year is to hand build work for the Potters Guild show. I’m teaching myself by watching YouTube University videos, and from what my teachers at the art college have taught me. I want to see how I progress as I keep working on them throughout the year, so I am taking photographs of my work as I go on to see the progress in my technique and work. I plan on making platters, and Christmas trees, and at some point I will be getting together with another guild member who is also guiding me through this journey. Stay tuned to see what comes out of my kiln! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1bbe8bbd-aa23-43a8-99ab-bb4bfe2f6e33/Capture.JPG Guild Blog - Aspirations for 2026 - “Last year, I decided it was time to open my own studio, so my goal for this year is to get that up and running and bring this beautiful art to more people in the surrounding area of Vinton and beyond! I want it to be warm and welcoming for all, it’s a space for people to create and be themselves.” -Julia Kona Clay Ceramics https://www.blueridgepotters.com/guild-blog/shalya-marsh-stencil-workshop monthly 0.5 2025-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/7663840d-2c56-4c4d-9cb7-15c48a5045db/3+ShalyaMarsh_Mugs.jpg Guild Blog - Shalya Marsh Stencil Workshop - We recently hosted a workshop led by Shalya Marsh at Common Clay Pottery in Roanoke, Va. Marsh’s work is characterized by dynamic surface designs inspired by the patterns and textures of everyday life. Original stencils are featured in her creative process. Marsh holds a BFA in Ceramics from the State University of New York at New Paltz and an MFA from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. Marsh currently lives and works in Morgantown, West Virginia.

She touched on the pros and cons of the different materials, and considerations for choosing the most appropriate material for a specific project. She also shared a wealth of techniques for using these stencils to create both impressed and raised textures, and demonstrated how to incorporate them with underglaze, slip, and glaze to build rich color and surface imagery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6601da400de09a2b6b348245/1749046529260-CCMDHGG41OS61OVS6AGW/textured+slab.jpeg Guild Blog - Shalya Marsh Stencil Workshop -
