Clay Stamp and Texture (Online)

August 8, 2020 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

$76
This class will cover how to add surface texture to greenware using a variety of means. We will discuss textures that can be found around the home and yard and I will collect a variety of them so students can see what kind of interesting textures they can make. I will also demonstrate how to make small clay stamps and small texture rollers that students will be able to personalize and use for many projects.
Students are welcome to simply watch the class or roll out their own slab and experiment as their workspace allows while we discuss the topic.
This class will be a 3 hour class held online through Zoom. There will be time for questions throughout the class and at the end.

Enrolled students will be given directions for clay pickup, completed work drop off for firing, and final work pick up after firing that follow current health guidelines.

 

Materials required:

 

clay (one bag of clay included with tuition)

clay tools for fine detail work

objects that students think would make good texture

rolling pin or soup can for flattening clay
