This popular workshop will explore various approaches to creating pattern, colour and texture on the clay surface. Both Fiona and Chris will run the workshop, so students will be able to benefit from both of their expertise in the surface.
The clay surface before firing is the perfect stage at which to create a whole range of exciting textures, patterns and marks, building up your own individual compositions. The clay will be rolled out for you in advance so it will be at the right consistency. All of the techniques are 'low-tech' and achievable without specialist print equipment.
Throughout the day we will cover slip decoration, applying layers of colour by brush, monoprinting, stencilling, scraffito and other experimental techniques. We will also be using ceramic inks to create printed marks and lines.
Most of the finished pieces will be flat/tile based, and you will also be able to use press moulds to create simple dish forms from your decorated surfaces.
£105 per person, inclusive of all preparation, materials, firings etc.
