This workshop focuses on creative surface design techniques using various objects as drawing tools: cookie cutters, typing press, carving tools, flexible rulers, and other items to decorate the clay surface.  By combining various shapes, colors, and textures, we aim to express a personal meaning or story. We will use different kinds of clay and examine the contrast and variations of mood and effect. Each participant will create a cup or small item of their choice (wheel-thrown or hand-built) which will be used to explore these techniques. All levels welcome.

Masa Sasaki (he/him) is an innovative, colorful, surface design ceramic artist.
