Screen Dreams Shortstack: Screen Printing on Clay SCHOLARSHIP

Join me for a fabulous ceramics class where we’ll dive into the art of screen printing on ceramic objects! We’ll kick things off with the basics—wedging clay, crafting your desired pieces by hand building or wheel throwing, and using the screen printing process to apply our glazes like a superstar. You’ll create chic cups, adorable bowls, bodacious boxes, and stylish cylinders while mastering the fundamentals of ceramic artistry.

By the end of this fabulous journey, you’ll strut out with absolutely stunning finished pieces and a solid understanding of studio safety and maintenance.

I love to start with structured instruction, but then it’s all about YOU and your creativity! As we delve deeper into screen printing, let’s embrace your individuality—because your pottery should be as unique as you are! No prior experience? No problem—just bring your fabulous self and let’s make some magic!

This is a All-Levels Shortstack. All skill levels are welcome.

Please Note:

• If you are new to the Pottery NW studio, or if you have not attended orientation as of summer 2023 quarter, you must attend the first class to receive the mandatory studio orientation. New students who do not attend the first day will be dropped from the class without a refund of the class fee. On the first day of class, late arrivals beyond 15 minutes after the class start time will not be permitted to join. Returning students should still attend the first day of class as the instructor will not be able to reteach missed lessons and demos to absent students in the proceeding classes.
