Clay Monoprinting with Kathy Erteman

A one day workshop dedicated to techniques for transfering image, texture, and pattern to pots, tile and  and sculpture. There are a myriad of surface possibilities that can be explored using printmaking techniques on clay to build rich layered surfaces at any firing temperature. During this workshop I will demonstrate various techniques I use in my work for printed surface treatments. We will work with slip, underglaze, and glaze to explore printing methods including  transferring patterns to clay with heavy paper,  clay stencils, silkscreen and decals and combinations of these. We will generate clay pieces to receive our printed ideas and participants  may also bring in leather hard pieces to work on.

Discovering the Spirit of Raku Firing with Denis Licul

This hands on workshop will expand our understanding of aesthetics and the spirit of Raku firing. We will look for a proper balance of black and white, luster glazes and mat stains to complement the uniqueness of each form. In the spirit of Zen we will practice surrendering of our expectations to the fire, embracing the intervention of the elements in the process.
