MAY
I will doing a workshop at the Fuller - open to all levels!
“Precious Cargo: Clay Box and Tea Bowl”

Thursday Multiple Morning Workshop May 2009
Sign up online at Fuller Craft Museum
Instructor: Kristina Stafford
Ability Level: All Levels

In this multi-session workshop students will learn several hand building and surface decorating techniques. Students will create a slab-built ‘box’ and the object it contains, such as a tea bowl or cup (the student may decide what the box will contain). Extensive surface decoration will be applied to both box and bowl utilizing a unique subtractive technique as well as under glazing. After glazing both objects the class will then learn ‘flocking’ to be applied to the interior of the box creating a rich texture.
