Self Expression and Clay Surface Design Workshop

We’ll have some fun and dig into how surface design is a great avenue for self-expression when finishing your ceramic work.​In this workshop Laurel will guide you through five decorative techniques: sgraffito, inlay, carving, underglaze transfer application, and underglaze pouring. Laurel will be available to answer questions and assist as you experiment with the techniques on five pre-made 6-inch circle tiles. Students are welcome to bring their own leather hard greenware or bisque for further experimentation.This workshop is designed for folks who have at least introductory experience with clay, either hand building or wheel throwing, and want to expand their toolbox of decorative techniques. Provided tiles will be bisque fired by LeMoyne and available for pick up three weeks after the workshop. This workshop includes a 1-hour break for lunch.
