Ornamented Surface with Lindsay Scypta
Saturday April 25
10am - 5pm

Explore the expressive potential of ceramic surfaces through playful and experimental approaches. Learn to make stamps and sprig molds, and use other methods that expand the possibilities of rhythm and patterns on your clay surfaces.

Ornamented Surface with Lindsay will explore playful and experimental approaches to ceramic surface. Students will work with a variety of techniques including bisque stamps, laser-cut tools, sprig molds, and slip trailing.

The day will begin with an instructor demonstration on the wheel, followed by hands-on tool making focused on curiosity, experimentation, and discovery.

Students will create a range of stamps and sprig molds, students will then test and combine surface techniques using the instructor’s collection of tools, with additional tools available to try.

Emphasis will be placed on exploration, pattern, and the expressive potential of surface.
