Form and Surface: Functional Canvases and Water Etching

Looking to improve your ceramic forms and explore a new decorative process? In this workshop, Dallas will cover design elements in regards to both form and surface. Students will build upon these foundations, exploring forms of their own interest. Considering ceramic form as a three-dimensional canvas, Dallas will demonstrate the traditional as well as contemporary approaches of his own design to water-etching. Students will be able to create patterns and tools exploring these techniques on their own forms. Pieces will be bisqued at the end of class.

Prerequisite: foundational understanding of and ability to independently throw basic ceramic forms on the wheel.
