Workshops - Fall

@ 10:30am – 2:30pm $85.00 (includes materials and firing costs). This class is on November 19. Jump into the exciting world of creative surface decoration for clay in this fun one-day workshop on Sgraffito and Mishima. Sgraffito is a decorating technique used on leather hard pottery, produced by applying layers of colors then scratching off parts of the layers to create images, patterns and texture. Mishima is considered the opposite of sgraffito and involves scratching first into leather hard clay, filling the lines with color then scraping the clay back to reveal lines filled with color. Students will also be learning different methods for transferring images onto clay and experimenting with different tools while creating one-of-a-kind ceramic pieces. This workshop is for those with a basic knowledge of ceramics who want to explore a bit with decorating their ceramic work. Please bring a lunch/snack, as there will be a break allowing for drying time. Class size is limited to 8.           Instructor: Robin Hart Cancellations must be done at least 2 weeks prior to the start of class in order to receive a full refund.
