It is deep\, bowl like\, making it a good spaghetti bowl. \nDuring this 2 day workshop you will be led through the steps to make your very own plate.  The first day\, which will take about 2 hours\, we will make the plate\, and cover different ways to decorate it. The plate is made from a slab of clay\, molded\, and then finished on the wheel. Once the plate is made\, you can finish it any way you want. A number of different methods of decorating  will be covered\, including use of texture\, use of underglazes and stencils\, and sgraffito\, a popular Italian method of decorating pottery (as shown on the plate pictured).  The focus will be on using the sgraffito method\, but you can finish it as you like\, but the class focus will be on creating a  concentric sgraffito design of black\, white\, and a minimal amount of red as accent. The second scheduled day\, we will finish the plate. Depending on how much is done the first class\, the second class could take an hour to 2 hours. Your plate will be ready for you to take home within 2 weeks of you finishing it. \nClick on the picture below to see spaghetti bowls made by other students:\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\nThe workshop will take place December 2 and 9  from 4 – 6  pm.

Working with slabs of clay\, and molds\, you will form these cone shaped trees. The trees will not have bottoms\, so it is best to use a battery operated light\, or a votive with a plate underneath. This is a two day works shop. The first day we will make the trees\, the second day we will glaze. Two hours is allotted for each class\, but it will likely take a little over an hour.  \nTo register\, click here; luminaire trees URL:https://oldschoolclayandceramics.com/event/make-a-forest-of-luminaires-december/ LOCATION:Old School Clay and Ceramics\, 145 Main St\, Groton\, Ma\, 01450 CATEGORIES:Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oldschoolclayandceramics.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/00100lrPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20211014123708455_COVER-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Old School Clay and Ceramics":MAILTO:whistlewood1@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20211209T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20211209T210000 DTSTAMP:20260426T222747 CREATED:20211127T032305Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211127T034324Z UID:972-1639076400-1639083600@oldschoolclayandceramics.com SUMMARY:Open Studio - Dec 9 DESCRIPTION:Feeling creative!?

Anyway\, we will make a plate\, about 9 inches across that when finished will be microwavable\, dishwasher safe and oven proof if protected from thermal shock.  \nThe class will be limited to 8 students\,  and no experience is needed. The plate will be made from a slab of clay molded into a form and then finished on the wheel. The workshop will take place on Monday afternoon\, from 4 – 6 pm\, December 20 and 27. \nThis is a 2 day workshop. The first day we will make the plate. Based on the ideas bouncing around my brain\, I think it could take about 1 1/2 hours to make the plate. The second day\, a week later\,  we will glaze the plate. That will likely take about an hour.  \nTo reserve a seat at this workshop\, click here: valentine\nPictures to come\, hopefully.

A final stencil\, that will be the focal point of the plate\, will be used. Students will be encouraged to find their own final design that I will print out for them. Simple silhouette designs of dragons\, flowers\, mandalas\, trees\, animals….are all possibilities.  \nThe workshop will take place Monday Dec 27 and Wednesday Dec 29 from 11 am to 1 pm.  \nThe plates will be ready for pick up with in 3 weeks from the last class. \nTo reserve a seat in this workshop: monoprint plates\n \nThe examples below are monoprints.
