Human connection and relationship to landscape, love, struggle and memory internally coalesce as layered stories. This live 3-hour demonstration virtual workshop will offer you insight and technique to explore your poetic voice and narratively express your individual story through clay. Discover the power of imagery with the suggested daily writing prompts, playful drawing exercises and pattern research. Emphasis will be on generating a lexicon of imagery, symbols and texture which translate well on a variety of clay canvas forms. Shanna will demonstrate printing techniques, image transfers, underglaze application, sgraffito, mishima, and wax resist glazing on red earthenware, while simultaneously offering guidance regarding composition and color. Participants will be able to see the thermofax printing process - stencil types that are customizable and made ready to use without using photographic emulsion.
