Surface Techniques and Soft Slab Construction

You will be exploring surface before making a set of 5 tumblers that match using the same surface technique. I will be in San Diego at a workshop on Friday and Monday. I do not show dvds just because, watch carefully, learn and we will move forward when I get back. I will be exploring surface in San Diego, so be ready when I get back!

1. water etching

2. slip trailing

3. sponging

4. stamping

Pick favorite technique, and then go for it. Samples of Kristen Kieffers work to follow!!!

Lynda Ladwig Visits!

The pictures start at the end- so scroll down to the bottom and work your way up. Remember, you will be exploring a series of 5 soft slab constructed forms. You must turn in 10 images of slab construction and make a pattern before starting!
