Ceramic Workshops with Stephen Palmer
Homemade Underglaze Transfer Workshop
with Stephen Palmer
Saturday, August 2nd, 10-4
$165
This workshop is for anyone looking to add that ‘certain something’ to their work. It is for wheel-thrown and hand-built pieces. During the workshop, students will have the opportunity to explore and develop a variety of underglaze transfers. Students will create an original design in addition to creating a transfer using commercial stencils. The student will create a few transfers we will add to the surface of a piece. We will make use of underglazes, slip and a slip trailer to draw images on newsprint paper.
BYOL (bring your own lunch). Drinks will be provided.
Price includes all supplies.
Note: pieces will be fired after the fact and available at a later date.
This class is limited to 10.
Stephen Palmer received his B.F.A. from Rhode Island College, and continued his study of sculpture in Italy at the Tuscan Renaissance Center. As a member of the South County Art Association in RI and now at City Clay, in Charlottesville, VA, Stephen continues to explore the many forms and functions of clay. Through teaching, he hopes to share and ignite the same passion and excitement in his students that he has for the ceramic form.

To protect our kiln, clay must be from our shop. We have our own studio glazes for you to use. We do not allow any other glazes or underglazes on pots we are to fire for you. You are welcome to bring your own tools, but beginner tools will be provided.

Building A Creature Workshop
with Stephen Palmer
Sat. & Sun., September 26th & 27th, 10-4
$300
In this workshop the student will learn to make a creature using a hollow form technique. We will discuss size and proportion in the class to ensure that their pieces work as a whole unit. We will start on a small piece first to learn the process. In the afternoon of the first day, we will launch into creating our masterpieces. Day 2 is all about sculpting the form. We will discuss finishing techniques. At the end of the workshop, the student will have a finished piece and the skills and hopefully the inspiration to continue making more art.
This workshop is designed for anyone with a working knowledge of the basic techniques of creating a hand-built piece without step-by-step instructions.
BYOL (bring your own lunch). Drinks will be provided.
Price includes all supplies.
