YOU ARE SIGNING UP FOR AN INTERMEDIATE SPOT IN THIS CLASS.
Week 1: Sgraffito and Banding and Decals. Applications of underglaze and the carving techniques and results of sgraffito. (Students will need to bring their own leather-hard and bisque pieces to work on)
Week 2: Shaving Cream and Bubbles. Using non-traditional vehicles for fun underglaze application. (Students should bring at least two bisque pieces)
Week 3: Thinking in Layers. Utilizing tape and latex resist methods. (Students should plan to bring 2-3 bisque pieces.)
Week 4: Marbling and Glaze-Trailing. Exploring non-traditional glaze applications. (Students should plan to bring at least 2 bisque pieces.)
Week 5: Show and Tell and Snacks! Share learned experiments and snacks.
Leather-hard and bisque pieces will not be provided, so students should plan to make these on their own time. Flat surfaces are best for the decals and under-glaze transfers. If you know you are going to have a hard time bringing these to class, please let us know.
All students will benefit from the demonstrations of each class. This promises to be a lively but focused class with a broad range of information, technique demonstration, and discussion.
