Artist Workshop:
Printing on Clay with Susan Burlingame of Grace Creek Ceramics - 1-Day Hands-on!
Susan creates small-batch functional ceramics in her Lancaster home studio. Her love for clay began in high school and grew through a decade at a local community studio before moving to her own space in 2017.
Inspired by the tactile joy of clay and the expressive possibilities of surface design, her work combines texture, layers, and color to create
truly one-of-a-kind pieces.
During this 1-day, hands-on workshop, you’ll learn:
- How to use direct and monoprinting techniques to add imagery, color and texture
- How to create and use your own low-tech screen prints for direct application on clay
- Tips for layering imagery, blending colors, and embracing the beautiful unpredictability of surface decoration
