Clay is a very versatile medium, and works well with all manner of tools and techniques. The flexibility and patterning in a variety of textiles collaborate well with the plasticity of clay, making detail work fast and easy.
In this workshop you will:
- Use the hand building techniques of slab, pinch, and coil to create a form
- Decorate the form with lace, knit fabric, and woven canvas textures
What you will walk away with:
- knowledge of which stages of clay dryness lend themselves best to shaping
- Making impressions
- How to use molds as support structures and building blocks
Who is this workshop best for?
Suited for experienced potters as well as beginner ceramic artists. All are welcome!
Materials provided
Clay, textiles, and molds
What must attendees bring?
Participants are encouraged to bring any textiles that they believe will make interesting textures. Be warned that they will get dirty, so no treasured heirlooms!
