In this class we’ll focus on functional forms and slip decorating techniques. We will cover plates, bowls, mugs, pitchers, and jar forms. Techniques will include slab building, drape molding, and free draping. Students will have the chance to make their own forms for plates as well as work with existing plaster “hump” molds. Decorating techniques will include feather combing, scrifitto, stamping, marbling, and slip trailing. Each week we will focus on completing one form as we work towards more and more complex vessels. Students will be encouraged to think in terms of themes when it comes to their decorating and to develop specific ideas about how their decorations relate to the form and function of their work.
