Instructor:  Joanna Poag
Host: Kala Stein

This 2-hour workshop was recorded on Zoom and will cover the fundamentals of how to mix colored clays using mason stains and use them to create engaging patterned compositions that can be used in functional, tile, or sculptural work. This workshop is for beginner to advanced levels, with artist and educator Joanna Poag.

In Joanna's process there are no glazes used; her approach to color, shape and compositions will be discussed and shared to help you explore the wonderful world of colored clay, a deviation from the rich Japanese tradition of Nerikomi.

This Zoom workshop takes place in Joanna's studio (Rochester, New York, USA). 

Some students like to work during the workshop and others do not - this is your preference- we recommend watching the first time and then working alongside the recording of the video at your leisure.

All students will receive the Zoom recording and other valuable resources.
