DIANA FAYT
Nature on the Surface

June 4 – 6 | Friday – Sunday | 10AM – 4PM
$450 for a three day workshop Using simple three dimensional forms students will explore composition and drawing on the form, taking into consideration all aspects of the three dimensional surface and not be limited by edges and boundaries. Diana’s daily demonstrations will include using molds to build simple forms, surface applications such as layering of slips and underglazes to create rich fields of color, drawing on and in the clay, the use of oxides, firing and tips and tricks to obtaining clean crisp lines in clay. Diana will also discuss and demonstrate other ceramic mediums and processes to create rich and interesting surfaces on your three dimensional forms, using things like cardboard letter stencils and old letterpress typeface, as well as how to transfer your images onto clay surfaces without sophisticated drawing skills. During her demonstrations, Diana will discuss elements of design, how to push the boundaries and see your pieces as limitless surfaces for expressing your visual ideas.Details of workshop here.
