Visiting Artist: Heather Hietala

Surface texture adds another layer of interest to ceramic forms. North Carolina artist Heather Hietala will demonstrate using cloth and found objects, sgraffito, and physical resists like shellac, to develop visual interest on the clay before and after building forms. Students will learn how to piece and collage the clay and use bisque molds to assist in turning textured slabs into sculptural forms and functional bowls, cups, and plates. Students will use hand building and decorative techniques to create one-of-a-kind pieces in this fun and lively workshop. 

Saturday May 17, 10 am – 4 pm and Sunday May 18, 10 am-4 pm
