Surface Decoration Using Stencils

In this hands-on workshop, Ruth will demonstrate how she makes her richly decorated work, using tape to block off sections that are filled with colorful glazes. If you want to add some color and interest to your cone 6 clay work, this workshop is for you. Each participant will get a small tile, tape, stencils, and glazes to make their own tile using this technique; firing is included. Space is limited to 15, so sign up now!
