Dive into hand-built clay bowls and terra sigillata surface decorating with Rhonda Willers! On day one of this two-day workshop, you’ll learn how to use everyday objects, clay bisque molds, and paper patterns to create bowls from clay. On day two, you’ll discover how to decorate the surfaces with terra sigillatas, a refined clay slip, using brush and sgraffito techniques. An introductory lesson of how to make your own terra sigillatas will be shared and demonstrated during the workshop! This workshop is ideal for beginners to advance students. Having some clay experience, such as one previous clay class, is helpful but not required.CLASS DETAILS:
