Instructor, Melanie Shaw, will share techniques for sgraffito image transfers, slip layering, patterning and collaging with paper punches, stencils (handmade and store bought) and wax processes to create a layered, colorful surface. There will be a short tutorial on die-cutting on the second day for artists that are interested in this process, feel free to forward images for class prior to class start for images to be utilized in class on a flat and/or rounded surface. Students will work toward creating a coherent relationship between pattern and composition. There will be a short break for lunch each day.
