Low-Low Fire, No Fire and Setting the Web on Fire | July 15th – 19th
Expand your palette. For this workshop, we will focus on “low-low
fire” ceramic surface decoration like china paint, decals and lusters.
We’ll also explore some “no-fire” options like sandblasting, “Lazertran”
inkjet decals and mosaics. Students may bring their own finished,
glazed ceramic pieces to decorate, or even choose to focus on working on
“repurposed” pieces rescued from the thrift store.
We’ll serve up surface with a side of marketing. If you need help
with your web presence, social media or Photoshop chops, you’ve come to
the right place.
