Pretty Plates

This class will dive into the different methods for making and decorating ceramic plates, using slip and underglaze techniques. In the first two weeks, students will make plates using a variety of handbuilding methods and wheel techniques. The remainder of the class will focus on decoration. We'll review slip application, stencils and transfers, and mishima techniques, combining them to create unique pieces. Students need some experience with clay, with wheel experience being preferred. Students can expect to make 6 to 12 plates, as it's about learning the processes over going into production! Space is limited, so don't hesitate to take your skills to a new level!
