Glaze Screenprinting Workshop

Service Description

In this workshop learn how to print on clay using the new AMACO Inks. Demonstrations and discussions will include a variety of printing techniques suitable for both handbuilding and wheel thrown forms. Hands-on projects will include silk screening techniques ranging from simple screens made from HTV vinyl to more detailed ones using light sensitive emulsion sheets that work great with photographs. We will silkscreen directly onto the clay and indirectly with newspaper transfers. After the printing is complete learn how to construct forms from the moist printed slabs.
