Slip Drawing on Clay
Taught by Gerrie Young
Six Thursdays, 6 – 9 PM
April 16 – May 21
A slurry of line invents a design. Slips are mixtures (slurries) of clay, minerals and water which dry as raised lines when fired. Drawing on clay allows you to further develop skill with line learned in fundamental and intermediate drawing sequences. Instructor will demonstrate a variety of ways to draw using slip. Students will learn how to create fluid lines on 2D and 3D clay surfaces. Slip lines can be further enhanced with transparent glaze color. A wide range of other clay drawing techniques will be included for your exploration.
