Online Demonstration: Illustrative Pots - A Deep Dive in Surface Exploration with Jess Faulk

In this workshop we will explore a number of ceramic surface decoration techniques: fine line carving, sgraffito, craft foam stamps and mishima. Jess will be doing a step-by-step demo of how she achieves her fine carved lines employing the use of underglazes and tinted glazes with a likeness to wash watercolor. 

You Will Learn:

1. A broader knowledge of technical surface approaches

2. How to most easily execute the techniques
3. Aesthetic choices for future ceramic projects.

Materials Needed:

• Leather hard pots or slabs (to use as canvases for surface exploration)

• Any or all: a needle tool, Craft knife (x-acto or other), Kemper WS wire Stylus (https://www.baileypottery.com/c-090-ws.html)

• Small sponge

• Preferred underglazes (Jess likes AMACO velvet underglazes)

• Paint Brushes (Jess prefers watercolor brushes because they hold more material)

• Wax resist

The Zoom Demonstration will be recorded and sent out to all registrants if you want to attend but have a scheduling conflict during the live demonstration.
