Join us for an exciting two-day workshop and bring winter narratives to life on clay. By using a combination of vinyl stencils and a carving technique called sgraffito, participants will have the chance to create a seasonally-themed plate using classic winter images and original ideas of their own. Stencils allow the artist to bring precise, controlled images to their decoration surface while sgraffito provides the opportunity for makers to illustrate on pottery and add a more fluid, organic look to the overall aesthetic. Participants will be guided through both decoration techniques and have the chance to experiment on test tiles before moving on to create designs on their own handbuilt forms. No clay experience is necessary. The only requirements are a willingness to take creative risks and to embrace the snowy season! We recommend that students have a basic knowledge of working with clay, but no experience is necessary to participate Greenware Pieces (optional) Students may bring their own personal tools and clay or use Ah Haa’s during the workshop Pickup/Shipping: Please note: All ceramics projects need to be fired in a pottery kiln and take approximately 1 month before they are ready to be taken home. You will receive an email once pieces are ready for pickup. If you will no longer be in Telluride, domestic shipping options are available via a third party, Ship It, Copy It. If you have not made arrangements with our Ceramics Director, Ah Haa will discard ceramics projects 30 days after the end of a class. For those who need to have their pieces shipped domestically, please be sure to select this option during the registration process. The total cost for safely packaging and shipping your ceramics projects will be listed on the online registration page for each class.
