In this 2-day demonstration workshop, each artist will share their techniques for surface enhancement. Lisa will start her part of the workshop by throwing and handbuilding soft pottery in bisque molds. Forms will include dinnerware, sugar/creamer set, salt cellar, and a compote/vase centerpiece. She will demonstrate how to make sprig molds from plasticene, apply various slips for depth and layering, and then decorate with the sprigs. Nichrome wire is used to attach moving parts. Glazing will be demonstrated on a bisque fired piece.
Liz Quackenbush thinks ornamentation is a fascinating way we can make our world more complex and beautiful and will demonstrate her handbuilding and brushwork glaze techniques. Liz will bring bisque fired red-earthenware pieces to demonstrate the way she develops her glaze painted surfaces. She will discuss her abstract visual language based on metaphor and symbolism. Slide presentations and discussions will include European and Islamic decorative clay traditions.
