About this event

Description

Ceramics: Surface Techniques
Instructor: Dominique Larson


How do you enhance the pieces you’ve already

started and really make them your own?

We will try slip transfers, Mishima, and more.

Let’s push your creative boundaries with your clay

surfaces, and see what you can do!

(Mishima ceramics is when the color is filled into

the grooves rather than revealed by scratching

away the top layer of the slip or underglaze.)


Prerequisite: Students need to have taken one

previous Intro or Beginning ceramics class

to attend, and be able to make their own forms.
