*This workshop must meet a minimum number of students by June 24, 2025.

Concept

This four-day workshop focuses on drawing on and treating the surface of greenware and bisque-fired clay. Developing your own imagery, learn how to use transfers, templates, water etching, and sgraffito carving, as well as underglaze decoration, decals, and glaze pencils. Create a series of cups and small plates on which to experiment with a spectrum of surface techniques.

Experience

Demonstrations and class resources assist in developing pattern ideas from natural forms, texts, and images; using drawings as templates for applying deliberate surface; decal assemblage; sizing and scaling decoration for your forms; and more. Hands-on working time is emphasized and one-on-one feedback is provided throughout the week. Students are encouraged to bring a few bisque pieces for experimentation, or one will be provided.

Skill Level

Open to students interested in learning new techniques and possibilities for creating more complexity in surface.
