Mixed Media & Porcelain
3RD AND 4TH OCTOBER 2020 – fully booked
Elaine will demonstrate techniques such as using mixed media in surface decoration; adding rust and other materials for colour and texture; and using combustible materials such as fabric, paper, and organic objects embedded to create different textures and effects. You will also explore how to make pieces that can be combined with found objects to form a 3D composition or a mixed media vessel. Using techniques with porcelain, including pinching and rolling, you will learn how wire and wood handles and other attachments can be accommodated.
This is a two day course. Each day is 10am-4pm and will include a two course lunch as well as refreshments and materials. The cost for this course is £300. Work will be fired and ready for collection 3-4 weeks later.
