In this class a variety of forms will be covered including, cups, mugs, jars, pitchers and teapots. We will go in depth on making handles for mugs, teapots and pitchers, as well as spouts, for teapots and pitchers. This will lead into a conversations about placement, ergonomics and construction. Composition of surface with a focus on inlay, sgraffito, stencil, texture, and the use of wax and slips. This will set the groundwork for later resist applications and glaze placement. We will attempt to demystify glazing and highlight the importance of using color to accentuate inlaid and textured areas. This class will cover techniques for applying several glazes using wax and latex resist on bisque pots.
