skill level.
Sandi and Neil will investigate one form at a time, presenting two views and
alternate forming techniques. Sandi will covers all aspects of slab
building with textured surfaces. Demonstration will include how to apply
texture to clay using found objects, cutout inlaid shapes, clay stamps and
bisque molds of textured surfaces which the clay is rolled on producing a

assembling and work with slips. There will be emphasis on applying textures
using the wheel.
