Ceramic Surface Design Workshop
This month’s ceramic class will cover a variety of surface design techniques. Using underglaze and glaze we will explore various techniques to decorate clay surfaces such as Mishima (line inlay), Sgraffito, paper stencils, and more.
In these 3 weeks you will be guided through the process of working with clay from beginning to end. We will be using hand-building methods (pinching, slab-construction and drop-moulds) in this process.
Information will delivered using demonstrations and a slideshow of image examples.
All materials, tools and firing will be provided. Just bring ideas of what you want to make!
Sessions are 3 hours each, and will take place at my private studio in Parkdale, at 77 Florence Street. Participants will be emailed further information.
*In the case that you miss a class, you can make up for it at a later date. If you need more time to work on your pieces you may arrange an appointment with me outside of our session for a fee. Please note that cracks, imperfections and unexpected results may occur and are part of the learning process.
For any questions or concerns please feel free to email me.
