Clayworks Studio-Link and the Edmonton Potters Guild invite you to learn a variety of printing techniques to create new surfaces on your finished work.

Cathy will demonstrate water-based printing techniques, from basic transfers with rubber stamps, and introduce participants to screen printing with slips and underglazes. She will demonstrate printing onto tissue-paper as well as more direct methods of printing onto clay. She will also teach you how to make decals using laser printers and photocopiers. Her range of techniques can be readily used by both beginner and advanced ceramic artists, in any type of kiln.


When: Friday March 25, 6-9 & Saturday March 26, 9-4
Where: 10125-81 Avenue (Studio-link)
Cost: $95

Cathy Terepocki graduated from Alberta College of Art and Design in 2004 with a BFA in ceramics. Since then she has been selling and exhibiting her work at galleries and shops across Canada. Her pieces have been featured in major exhibitions such as Canada’s Unity and Diversity Exhibition at the Cheongju International Craft Biennale and at the Vancouver Museum as part of the 2010 Cultural Olympiad.

Vitrified Print Course – Paul Scott

by | Jan 8, 2011 | Uncategorized

By Paul Scott (UK)
April 11th – 15th 2011

Once again Guldagergaard proudly presents Paul Scott and his printmaking course for those with some experience of print and/or ceramics and/or glass. Discover a range of transfer technologies and direct printing or develop a particular aspect of a process or technique.

The “Vitrified Print” courses have formed an important part of the developing knowledge in the field, and are well known for being very informative and hugely enjoyable. Vitrified Print will be structured to encourage the students research interests to take priority over a rigid teaching format. This allows the individuals to develop a technique or process under expert guidance. For those wishing to have a specific program of work, the workshop will concentrate initially on direct drawing – monoprint transfers – then go on to consider the processes of relief and intaglio printing as well as screenprinting and lithography. We will examine the theory of traditional decal production but concentrate on alternative transfer technologies, direct printing and the role of laser printer and photocopier in ceramic and glass transfers.

Emphasis will be placed on developing high quality work and processes using minimal specialist equipment, so that participants will be able to continue using the new technologies and methods in their own studios. The course will include a series of illustrated lectures on printed ceramics, their origins and contemporary roles and functions.
