Beyond function, ceramic vessels can serve as design objects, three dimensional canvases that convey messages and artwork. In this workshop we will learn some of the myriad ways humans have decorated pottery from ancient times to today. Covering underglazing, sgraffito, and slip decoration, this workshop will help you design and decorate your work in unique ways.

Students will require greenware (ideally leather hard) from their class work or drop-in practice  for this workshop. Certain decoration techniques could also be done on bisque ware.

Skill level: Any

Classes and workshops are non-refundable.
