Join Sara as she demonstrates how she merges 3d sculpting with 2d illustration to create her vibrant ceramic flowers. She’ll begin by walking us through her building process: from planning her piece to using soft porcelain slabs for a form suitable for painting. She’ll then show us how she maps her imagery onto the bisqued sculpture and uses underglaze to bring her stylized flowers to life. Attendees will learn techniques for sculpting with porcelain, building with soft slabs, underglazing bisque, and merging 2d imagery with 3d forms.
