Conversations Between Form & Imagery: A Workshop with Kathy King
Saturday – Sunday, February 18-19, 10am – 5pm
Fee: $180 members; $200 non-members
 This hands-on workshop will center on building a personal vocabulary of imagery while considering methods of composition of that imagery onto both the wheel-thrown and hand built ceramic form. With humor as a tool to create narratives within her work, King will introduce some non-traditional ideas about function and methods of storytelling. Students will incorporate their own imagery through carving through slip-colored clay (sgraffito) in addition to working with print transfer techniques such as decals, silk-screening, resist printing from a photocopy and block-printing images onto clay that will be provided by the artist. In addition, glaze techniques that will enhance surface work will be demonstrated.
