to make a three-dimensional form and cast a reproduction of
it in casting slip. Then try her unique techniques of pouring
the slip into slabs and hand-building with them. You will also
learn about coloring the slip, texturing and slip trailing. The
work made during the workshop will be glazed and fired, then
picked up 2 weeks later.
