Molly Hatch
DATES: June 15 – 26, 2015
SKILL LEVEL: Open to all
CONCEPT: We explore ways to approach surface decoration and its relationship to form in your sculpture or pottery. We begin by walking through basic surface design concepts and discuss ways to find your muse. Learn how to source and translate 2-D patterns and images into both surface decoration and form. In addition to basic hard-slab construction, this workshop focuses on learning a wide range of surface techniques on greenware and bisqueware.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Students work with Mishima (Japanese Slip Inlay), Sgraffitto (slip carving), rubber stamping, doodling, paper resist, sticker resist as well as the use of commercial and non-commercial underglazes on bisqueware. We use electric kilns for firing mid-range porcelain.
ACTIVITIES: We make our own forms for exploring new surfaces in the mornings and afternoons. Demonstrations twice a day with time to practice and troubleshoot. Final week allows time for firing, glazing and completion of work.
