This workshop will take place on Saturday, October 22nd and Sunday, October 23rd from 10am – 4pm. Come discover the joys of working with clay to design and create your own collection of decorative and three dimensional ceramic pieces for embellishing your mosaics. You will love how these pieces give your work a more unique and individual look! We’ll go over design possibilities and you’ll see samples of how to incorporate these pieces into an abstract or representational mosaic. Day one will focus on exploring the endless possibilities of creating textures and imprints in clay as well as how to create sculptural pieces that will add so much dimension to your work. In the afternoon, I will give a demonstration of how to create molds so that you can duplicate your pieces. Completed tiles will be bisque fired, and on day two you may choose from a palette of over fifty colors to glaze your pieces.   Glaze application and secrets for layering glazes for special effects will be covered. Upon completion of a second kiln firing, you will take home an abundant, generous supply of custom created, textured clay pieces for use in your mosaics or other artwork. (Out of town students may have your pieces shipped.)
