Perception and Play: Exploring Ceramic Surfaces

Arts & Culture
Classes & Workshops (Adults)

This intermediate workshop invites you to explore ceramic decoration techniques and engage in a playful journey of design. You’ll discover how to enhance surfaces with depth and layers while learning how form and surface can work in harmony. Drawing from Gestalt psychology, optical science, and natural visual patterns, participants will move beyond underglaze to experiment with materials like ceramic ink, pigmented wax, sticker resist, and erosion drawing. Simple exercises, practical tips, and unexpected sources of inspiration will help you build curiosity and confidence.

Develop an enhanced awareness of how 2D and 3D elements interact, creating surfaces that respond to the curves and character of your pottery. Experiment with new techniques and materials, adapting them to your personal style, and explore layering multiple techniques to add depth and complexity to your work.
