This five-day workshop explores handbuilding with red clay as the foundation for expressive, low-fire surface design on functional and sculptural slab forms. Through drawing warm-ups, printed patterns and layered color, students will develop personal imagery using underglaze, mason-stain washes, oxides, and Stroke & Coats. Participants will design and burn their own stencil-style silkscreens, create personalized rice-paper transfers, and explore low-relief carving. By blending drawing, printing methods, and layered surface techniques, students will develop a distinctive visual language on clay.
