Colored Clay Tomfoolery

In this workshop, students will learn how to liven up their ceramics with colored clay! Each participant will create their own variety of colored clays and learn techniques for assembling multicolored pieces. Demonstrations will include wheel throwing, trimming, and hand-building, with an emphasis on combining these techniques to create unique, colorful ceramic work.

Materials To Bring

• Favorite tools, if desired 
• Participants are welcome to bring additional ceramic stains if there are specific colors they’d like to explore. Quarter-pound quantities are plenty for experimentation.
