Demonstrations will include the use of epoxy to adhere found objects to fired ceramic and the use or resin and glitter to add multimedia dimensionality to ceramic objects. Workshop participants should have a working knowledge of the ceramic process while remaining inquisitive and resilient when incorporating mixed media components.
