There are numerous easy, low-tech methods for transferring your photographs and drawings onto pottery. Join artist Marney McDiarmid for an afternoon exploration of transferring images and patterns onto clay. In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to put their own designs onto pots by drawing through wax in multiple layers, using a carbon paper transfer technique, and a photocopy transfer technique. The afternoon will end with a short demo of using underglazes like watercolors to decorate pieces once they have been bisque fired.

• Intermediate to advanced
• Ages 18+
• Museum will provide: exacto knife, sponge, pencil, black underglaze, brushes, pottery wax and dust masks

Participants, please bring:

• One or two green ware cylinders
• 4 x green ware tiles (min 5”x5”)
• Photographs that you would like to transfer onto pots and/or some drawings printed onto regular copy paper. Some imagery will also be provided by the instructor.

Please note: This is a technique class and the completed pieces will not be fired at the museum.
