You will learn various techniques such as monoprinting, screen printing and lino printing on clay, building these shapes and patterns up into your own unique surface decoration. Working on paper and clay slabs, learning how to translate your mark making from one material to the other. Day Two: Emily will take you through various handbuilding techniques in clay, enabling you to build your own vessel out of the decorated clay slabs from Day 1.
