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.
