NEW! Making and Using Silk Screens for Ceramics.

I will be offering this as a 2 day workshop with the Boulder Potters Guild in early 2025.
In this workshop learn all about making and using your own silk screens with the EZ ScreenPrint system. We will discuss the how and the why of using your own silk screen imagery on ceramics . Using your own original black and white artwork we will burn silk screens. We will discuss and prepare underglaze or slip. Students can practice using their screens to make images on prepared tiles, small cups or their own work. We will conclude the workshop with a discussion on adding layers of images, colors and glazes. Registration TBD.
