CLAY – FALL SHORT SESSION
SEPTEMBER 22 – 27, 2024 (4 STUDIO DAYS)

Adrienne Eliades
Say It with Surface

Cultivate your creative voice through surface design on clay. Beginning with test tile studies, students will work through aesthetic considerations such as color, composition, and imagery (whether abstract or representational). Then, working with thrown forms such as cups, bowls, and vases, students will practice applying 2D imagery to 3D forms. Techniques will include inlay, slip trailing, stenciling, and resist in combination with underglaze and glaze. Demonstrations, exercises, and discussions will prompt students to connect with their internal and external sources of inspiration. Students will leave with new skills and ideas, greenware pots, and glazed test tiles fired to mid-range temperature. All levels. Upper clay studio.=
