Ornamented Surface with Lindsay Scypta
Saturday, September 28th, from 10a - 4p (lunch break 12:30p - 1:30p) & Sunday, September 29th, from 12p - 3p
Ages: 18+ years old - prior wheel experience needed
In this hands-on workshop, the focus will be on the ornamented surface; we will talk at length about planning surface design and how to customize tools and tool-making for your ceramic canvas. I will demonstrate throwing forms utilizing the mirror (see June article in PMI), making decisions about surface design in the wet stage, and presenting a slide lecture on personal work and influences. I will move to trim leather hard pots with glazes in mind, layering patterns & textures to create a diverse composition. Individual and group critiques, use of sketchbooks and conceptual ideas will also be included.
Students should bring throwing tools plus multiple trim tools, metal ribs, or kidneys they have.
