5 day workshop
10-4. Hours may vary slightly to accommodate studio needs.
 
Deepening the Surface through Layers & Print is ideal for those who have a working knowledge of clay, are surface lovers or surface curious, and could also be intriguing to those with a strong interest in mixed media and 2D realms such as painting, drawing, print & collage.
 
In this Workshop we'll focus on:
Creating depth through the layering of surface
Applying various techniques for image transfer, print on clay, mono print, screen-print
Exploring personal expression through imagery and mark-making
Using various resists at various stages
Considering the use of different Clay bodies and casting slips
Building your technical tool kit
Building a test tile reference for techniques and ideas explored
 
To maximize these goals, we'll be working with test tiles, simple slab forms and/or a pre-bisque form provided by the studio. By the end of the week, we’ll have explored numerous surface possibilities, unlocking even more Creative potential, with references to prove it!
 
Those with home studios may chose to fire their own workshop pieces, though we are happy to fire on your behalf! Finished pieces can be collected from the studio 2-3 weeks post workshop, or arrangements can be made to ship finished pieces to you.
