Upcoming Workshop:

Color, Image, and Surface Design w/ Megan Walsh

May 19th • 1-5pm • $60

This workshop will focus on different surface design techniques and image solutions. We will look at color and image options, covering exciting ways of creating pattern and texture at different stages in the making process, both before and after firing. Participants will experiment with several methods to create interesting surfaces on wet clay; including incised design, shellac resist, screen printing, and slip and under glaze layering. The workshop will also dem­onstrate post glaze fire techniques such as decals and lusters. Participants are encouraged to bring green ware and fin­ished glaze ware to experiment with during the workshop.Megan Walsh studied ceramics at Alfred Uni­versity, she works out of her studio in Bayside and teaches classes at Portland Pottery.
