In this specialty pottery class, students will gain a thorough understanding of various surface decoration techniques, including carving, slip trailing, underglaze painting, resist methods, and more. Students will also learn about the technical aspects of surface decoration, including proper preparation of clay surfaces, drying and firing considerations, and troubleshooting common issues that may arise during the decoration process. This class is perfect for those artists who are looking to add visual interest to their pots and use the surface of the clay as a canvas. Students ideally already have the ability to center, throw, and trim 1 pound of clay (reasonably well) without needing supervision.
