Known for her sculptural pieces with hand-drawn, graphic elements, Monica Viola is also a master of glaze precision and layering. We are excited to welcome her into the studio to share her glaze and decorating knowledge at the Clay Studio Collective!

In this course, Monica will share new ways to use and apply glaze, and incorporate layers of decoration for depth and complexity:

Learn how to overlap multiple glazes and make clean line transitions between them
Learn how to incorporate both gloss and matte glazes, oxide washes, and underglazes together to achieve surface variations and texture
Make slab-built pieces* that work best as a blank canvas for applying slip decorating techniques, such as sgraffito

*Monday June 2, 1:00-4:00pm: Spend the day slab building a piece for decoration with Heather Snow, in preparation for Monika's course. This complimentary lesson is included with the course fee.

Additional material cost is $40 (includes clay, underglaze, glaze, wax resist & liquid latex).

Students must bring 8 pieces of bisqueware to class ranging from small-medium, which includes 1 carved pot. Please also bring designated brushes to use with wax and/or liquid latex.

Firings are not included, unless a member of the CSC or an ongoing KCP student.
