This is a basic and intermediate throwing class with a focus on surface design. We will focus on throwing forms that we can use as canvases.
We will play with surface design techniques such as sgraffito and latex resist. You will explore how to create your own set of motifs and imagery and apply them to clay.
Members: $200
Non-Members: $250
