Greenware Decoration: Techniques for Unfired Clay

This workshop will explore numerous possibilities for decorating the unfired clay surface. Greenware decoration creates a starting point for more complex surface, using fewer glazes. Stencils, inlay, etching, trailing, and more will be demonstrated using leather hard to bone dry clay. White and black slip, underglazes and oxides stains will be used for decoration. Participants are encouraged to bring two leather hard pieces and two bone dry pieces to practice the techniques. Clay tiles and small pots will be provided for those who do not have their own.
