Sunday April 11th: Hand Laid Texture and Cutwork
10:30-1:30 pm 
 
Hand Laid Texture: We will be applying small pieces of wet clay or hand built sculptural elements to the surface of leather hard pots with paper clay. With this technique we can add high texture and dimension or a relief design to your work We will work on 2 final pieces. Once the texture has been laid down we will smooth and refine the design at the joints. Pots will be wrapped to let moisture equalize until the next class.
Cutwork or Piercing: we will be learning to use positive and negative space to cut designs into a leather hard vessel without losing the integrity of the piece.
 
Provided Materials: 2 leather hard tiles for practice, paper clay slip, B mix clay, tools, pattern and design books.
 
Students should bring: 2-3 trimmed leather hard pots and any design ideas they would like to use.
 
Clay Can be purchased from Art Haus. Recommended clays for the class are bmix ($25) or porcelain ($30). No outside clay will be aloud in the studio.
