Michael Sherrill at The Penland School Of Craft

THE UNIFIED OBJECT: COLOR, FORM, SURFACE - CLAY SUMMER SESSION 6 AUGUST 9-21, 2020 

In the natural world, color is always in motion, transitioning from one color to the next. This workshop will explore techniques using porcelain and slips to create transitional color. I will demonstrate post-firing surface techniques using diamond abrasives to remove material and polish the surface. We’ll cover the use of extruders and some handbuilding techniques and make a variety of sample pieces. Artists who work at the wheel will also discover applicable techniques. Students will be encouraged to bring their favorite handbuilding tools—particularly for mark making, texturing, carving, and embossing. Electric firing. All levels. Code 06CA Penland School of Craft
