Workshops: CLAYFEST 2025
TattOoing Fine Lines Into Round Pots…
with Bianka Groves
Think outside the glaze.
This workshop will focus on forms and surfaces outside the everyday glazed vessel. Students will concentrate on enhancing their wheel-throwing skills as well as honing in on their own individual aesthetic interests. Make pots then inlay designs and compositions into the surfaces in a manner similar to tattooing. Alongside demos, exercises, and class discussions, students will add their personal touches to complete a new body of work.
Surface exploration and developmenT
with Jessica Wilson
Develop your own surfacing style.
Focus on development and exploration of surface treatments such as sgraffito, mishima, shellac resist, wax resist, paper resist, image transfer, slip trailing, decals, lithography printing on clay and glaze application. Students will learn these techniques as well as execute them and build their own surface vocabulary.
