Learn how to transfer images from coloring books, magazines, printed references, and other inspiring sources onto clay to create your own detailed designs.

This technique is a great way to create bold contrast and expressive decoration while building confidence with carving tools and surface design. Leather-hard practice plates will be provided as well as an assortment of reference images. Please feel free to bring your own images to use (ex: coloring book/page, printed images, drawings, magazines, etc.) This workshop is suitable for mature children ages ten and up who can focus on projects for two or more hours. Shipping available. Ingrid Jonely is a potter based in Arlington, WA specializing in creative, whimsical, and macabre wheel-thrown and hand-built pottery.
