Join Nikki Lewis in creating artworks in a coil-built, large vessel format. This workshop will explore strong bonded coil-building techniques, decorative handles and compelling surface design. Students will learn basics of color theory, in-depth underglaze blending and painting methods, and stencil and scraffito techniques to create rich, patterned surfaces. If you love color, pattern, and functional large vessels this is the workshop for you!
