Concept: In February Ayumi Horie will be exploring Mishima. As she says Technicolor Mishima. Color! Gold! Silver! Porcelain! Animals! How luscious surface decoration can get when mishima (slip inlay) is layered with decals and glaze.

Playing with 100+ different colored slips, get ready for lots of testing and experimentation as we discover how your drawings can come alive in narrative compositions that use color to push and pull information. In conjunction with testing, we’ll also be producing canvases for testing. To show off all this color, we'll also cover topics within social media like what makes a great photograph for Instagram and how you can use video in an interesting way to share your work online.
