The SPLENDID SURFACES conference will bring together an accomplished group of presenters to demonstrate, share ideas and answer any questions you have. Discover how each presenter uses the clay as their canvas, creating lush surfaces so inspiring you will rush home to your studio with fresh ideas. If you’re looking to add to your repertoire of surface techniques, then this is the conference for you.
What you will learn:
Explore in detail the teapot form with reference to the perspective of proportions, and through the creation of the form, participants will develop skills in handling clay, sense of craftsmanship and better visual creative skills by virtue of the form.
Discussion of glazing through the use of the spray gun and brush layering to achieve jewel tone and other surface effects.
Demonstration of tool making and how to make a cane handle.
Discuss networking, pricing and presentational aspects that can lead to an artist being successful.
You’ll leave the conference with working knowledge of mishima (Japanese slip inlay), sgraffito (slip carving), sprig molds, slip trailing, shellac relief as well as use of underglazes on bisque.
Learn how to use the clay as canvas by drawing and painting with semi-moist underglaze decorating colors, underglaze decorating pencils and underglaze chalk crayons.
Gain the inside scoop from the Amaco/Brent team with discussion centering around their materials and tools used in the art of ceramics. They will provide guides for experimentation, troubleshooting and interesting glazing techniques. This will be your chance to ask the experts your burning questions.
Learn how to carve through slip-covered clay (sgraffito) on both thrown and handbuilt forms that are then glazed with a series of cone six, translucent glazes.
Learn how to incorporate print transfer techniques like water-slide decals, silk-screening and block-printing images onto clay.
Friday Night Reception, Saturday and Sunday Presenter Demonstrations
The schedule is set-up so that attendees can pick and choose which classes to attend over the two day event. Attendees will sign-up during Friday and/or Saturday morning registration. Attendees will be asked to choose one presenter for AM and PM for Saturday and Sunday. Each attendee will see four of the six presenters.
