Printed Imagery on Clay with Susan Feagin: September 14th, 2024
Description: Are you interested in a fun and low tech approach to decorating clay surfaces? This workshop is perfect for people who like to draw, make collages, or do screen printing. In this workshop, students will learn the ins-and-outs of creating screen printed transfers to embellish their clay surfaces. Students will learn the process of working with EZScreens, create stencils, and make a silk screen for printing. Students will have the opportunity to draw their own motifs with underglaze to transfer to the clay surface. Prior to the workshop, students will email Susan up to 3 JPEG’s of black-and-white images or drawings that will be made into mini EZScreens. Susan will print them on a transparency to prepare for the workshop. To learn more about the EZSreens process visit www.ezscreenprint.com.

“Ceramics, like a handwritten note or a worn book page, evokes memories and timelessness. The vessels I create are scrap paper collages created from suspended fragments of time represented by pieces of letters, hand-pulled prints, newspaper photos, and journal pages. These ceramic vessels reflect the intimacy and the comfort of my handmade journal and my sketchbook. Stoneware or porcelain slabs are draped and collaged together over molds. I try to work quickly. The forms are simple so as to contrast the busy surface and also to suggest immediate use. It appears as if the paper scraps have come to life and lifted themselves into an inviting shape, calling us to pause for a closer look.”
