Are you looking to learn how to add rich depth to the surfaces of your ceramic work and expand your decorating skills? In this skill-building workshop, Taylor will demonstrate how she creates layered surfaces on unfired clay. Students will experiment with decorating techniques such as stamping, slip trailing, carving, and underglaze painting using paper resists on tile. Strategies for harmonious, asymmetrical surface compositions on vessels and choosing color palettes will be touched on throughout the demonstrations.

Learn how to create layered surfaces on your ceramic work in this two-day workshop! In this skill-building session, Taylor will demonstrate how she creates rich surfaces on unfired clay using stamping, slip trailing, carving, and painted gradients of colorful underglaze over botanical stencils. Students will experiment with slip trailing on soft tile and underglaze painting on bone dry tile. Students are encouraged to bring simple stencil shapes cut from newsprint to class for practicing, but this is not required. Students may choose to bring a few of their own pieces for practice if they wish: 2-3 bone dry pieces for underglazing and a couple of soft pieces for slip trailing. All other supplies (including practice tiles) will be supplied. Morning coffee & tea and a full lunch will be served each day of the workshop. Registration deadline: Friday, September 4.
