There’s no question that form and function are of utmost importance in ceramics, but let’s not forget how much fun it is to make our pots look great! Whether you’re a handbuilder or a wheel-thrower, the focus of this class will be on the finished piece. We will begin by making a variety of tools to imprint our own designs on our pieces, including stamps, sprigs, and rollers. Then we’ll explore a variety of surface decoration techniques: sgraffito, Mishima, slip decoration, water etching, and underglaze stencils, to name a few. Let’s take the stress out of glazing and make our own glaze tests, so we can see how different glaze combinations will look on our piece. Weather permitting, we will also play around with spraying glazes. Students should have basic knowledge of working with clay. Please bring a notebook to class.
