Surface Decoration Workshop with Robin Tiede
Please join Earth and Fire Pottery Studio member and lifelong potter, Robin Tiede, for a dynamic two day workshop on surface decoration and manipulation. Robin will teach two distinctly different techniques that will enhance the surfaces of both wheel thrown pots and hand built clay pieces. The application of sodium silicate and stretching techniques will add interesting textures, while the second process called Mocha Diffusion will enhance your surface with beautiful watercolor-like design. Join this exciting workshop to learn how to apply a scientific approach to your clay surfaces! No experience necessary!
