Weekend Workshop
 
Learn how to add more dimension to your clay pieces through surface decoration

 techniques will be introduced. Students will have the opportunity to discover the
unlimited possibilities of adding imagery, pattern, and lines to wet clay surfaces
using underglazes and slip. Glaze trailing and layering on bisque-fired pieces will
also be presented. You may bring low to mid-range pieces that have been bisque
fired to cone 06. You are asked to bring a sketch book, images, and symbols personal
 to your work along with a sense of adventure and experimentation.
