Vases & Carving - Wheel Throwing and Surface Decoration Techniques, Module 3
Three 3-hour sessions (9 hours total): From 5:30–8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, July 10, Saturday, July 13, and Saturday, July 20, 2024
In this third of three 9-hour modules focusing on different surface decoration techniques applied to wheel-thrown pieces, students will focus on throwing small vases with slightly thicker than usual walls, making it possible to carve out faceting or other designs once the vessels are leather-hard. This is an interesting way to add interest to the surface of any piece, and can be done either on plain clay as a way to show off the effects of particular glazes or in combination with colored-slip or underglaze decoration applied before clear-glazing.
(Prerequisite: students joining this workshop must be able to throw a 4-inch-tall cylinder unassisted).
Students who sign up for all three workshops that are part of this wheel-throwing and surface-decoration journey will receive a 15% discount, to be applied to a future class or workshop within one year of the final module’s end date.
