Surface Design
Simple basic forms will be built by hand or pressed into plaster forms. In addition the clay surface will be squished, stretched or altered with stamps. With clay wads, coils, balls and slabs we will create new surface structures.
The addition of soft, crumbly or scraped clay will change the outer skin of our objects further.
A workshop for all people who like to experiment.
