Juliann will discuss the use of high temp wire for functional and decorative design elements. Participants will hand build their own wall-hung puffy box (heart or round) with hinged door using Juliann's techniques with an emphasis on developing your design style. Juliann will also demo her glazing techniques and provide a bisque ornament for participant to glaze.

Juliann Roush is a self proclaimed maximalist. Most of her work is hand built with slabs and has a very distinct style using lots of texture and bright colors. Juliann finds inspiration from circuses, side-shows, fairs, elaborately decorated, hand-carved and ornately painted wagons/caravans, and old ornate Baroque theaters. Often her work has a positive encouraging message, giving a little insight into her cheerful personality and joy of making and sharing her methods. Juliann teaches at workshops around the country and has been a featured presenter at Clay Con West and The Ceramic School.
