In this class we will explore 4 techniques for decorating wheel thrown forms. We will carve, stamp, add coils for texture and apply slip to accentuate our pieces. Beginners welcome, although basic throwing skills are helpful so we can fully focus on textural additions. You will leave the class with lots of options for how to make simple forms look intricate and exciting.
No class on November 28th
