Sprigging, Slip Trailing and Jewel-tone Color Layering with Lisa Orr - September 23rd at 12pm EST
The class will be introduced to low relief texture sprigging, slip-trailing and color layering techniques. Lisa will show how to create original, detailed, low-relief designs using "oil-clay" or plasticene modeling clay (available at any hobby store) to be molded in clay for easy replication in any type of clay, which can be applied to leather hard clay. Additionally she will demonstrate how to make trailing slip for drawing directly on a damp clay surface. Decoration can be whimsical or structured to create a narrative.
Lastly, we will cover how jewel tone color richness is achieved by laying engobes, slips, and translucent alkaline glazes. Lisa’s works are low-fired in an electric kiln but these processes and ideas translate to any temperature. A recipe sheet will be included.
Lisa Orr is a professional potter and has been a student of ceramics for more than 40 years. After completing her MFA in 1992 at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University, she received a Fulbright and an MAAA/NEA grant to continue her studies. Her work is shown in numerous public and private collections including the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco, and the permanent collection of WOCEF in Korea. A full-time studio potter, she also teaches, lectures, and shows nationally and internationally.
