Are you looking to learn how to add rich depth to the surface of your ceramic work and expand your decorating skills? In this skill-building workshop, Taylor will teach students how she creates layered surfaces on unfired clay.

Strategies for harmonious, asymmetrical surface compositions on vessels and choosing color palettes will be touched on throughout the demonstrations.
