Ceramics & Sculpture
Peeling the onion... Without all the tears! This workshop will focus on creating dynamic, layered, and interesting ceramic surfaces for both functional and sculptural vessels. We will look at building up slip and terra sigilatta surfaces and backgrounds to enhance and enliven the ceramic surface and provide dynamic, layered backgrounds for glazes to interact with. We will look at brushing slip, hakame, paper resist, brush wipes, sgraffito, champleve, slip trailing, terra sigillatas, and different resist techniques to build up layers of information and interest for further glazing to later enhance and augment our ceramic vessels. Glazing considerations will be discussed, but the bulk of the workshop will be spent discussing and exploring leather hard and bone dry applications. Ronan Peterson - $175 - Saturday, 10am-2pm, Jan. 20 & 27 Prerequisite - At least one Wheelthrowing class, and must be comfortable centering at least 2lbs of clay.
Simple Surfaces: Exploring Basic Surface Decoration Whether you have a love or hate relationship with glazing, this class will help broaden your surface decoration skills.

Reading Methods to Examine Diversity in Children’s Books This examination of diversity begins with a snapshot of currently published picture books that participants will use as focus for discussions about representation of characters of color. Analysis will include examining books for stereotyping, normalizing, and positive representations, etc. Together we will produce a collaborative resource of the most useful books. Susie Wilde - $120 - Fri. 4:30-8:30pm & Sat. 9:30am-3:30pm, Feb. 2 & 3 Completion of this class is good for one CEU credit.
