Patterned Vessels

Event Description

This workshop focuses on how to develop intricate patterns on vessel forms. Demonstrations begin with wheel-throwing and hand-building techniques and quickly move into surface treatments using inlaid colored slips on greenware. Using these techniques as a foundation, students experiment with patterns to create multi-layered and creative surfaces. All work is made in cone 5 clays and glaze fired using a clear glaze in the electric kilns. Students are encouraged to bring sketches and source materials that relate to forms and patterns. Students can choose wheel-throwing and hand-building.
