Look OUT is a week-long intensive workshop designed to teach surface decorating techniques: how to add color, texture, and light to the surface of clay. This class will be focused more on design rather than construction. Students will learn how to make their own tools such as clay stamps, underglaze, patterns, prints and more!

Students with previous ceramic experience are welcome to bring their own pieces to decorate!

Whether you are new to working with ceramics or are an experienced potter looking to learn more surface design techniques, this class welcomes all levels of experience!
