Painting with Underglaze with Sam Chumley - May 7th at 12pm EST
Workshop Description:
In this class students will learn how to design and paint with underglazes to create graphic surface imagery on their ceramic work. We will focus on painting and decorating bone dry clay with techniques that can be applied to functional or sculptural work. We will cover methods for transferring drawings to clay, using underglazes to create both black and grey as well as color imagery, color mixing, and blending to create dynamic surface decorations. Our approach will focus on quality over quantity, where students will pay more attention to surface details on each piece.
Artist Bio:
