This demo is all about surface, surface, surface! The focus will be on creatures, but the ideas can be applied to all ceramic work including thrown, pinched, coiled, etc. Simple, everyday tools and instruments will be demonstrated as well as created textures with clay and found objects.

Texture can be used to augment a piece as feathers to an owl, scales to a fish, or bark of a tree. Easy ideas in texture can uplift a piece and provide a great sophistication or even hide an imperfection. Impressions will be the focus, but we will also discuss adding clay to clay for texture.
