Kenny will demonstrate how he records dimensions of 3d surface areas, creates and digitizes a template design for ceramic pieces, designs/cuts stencils, and how to use stencils to apply slips and glazes to bisqueware.

He will work with participants to measure their own premade bisqueware to create stencils specifically for their pots, letting attendees choose from a premade set of tessellating patterns.

In this workshop, we will be working with a cylindrical form and tapered form. Additionally, measuring and applying stencils to irregular pots will be covered via demos so participants can take what they learn and apply it to more complex shapes in the future.

Please bring 1 cylindrical bisqueware pot (as close to perfectly vertical walls as possible) between 3” and 12” in height and 1 straight-wall tapered cylinder (such as a cup, vase or a coffee dripper). Attendees who do not have a straight-wall tapered cylinder pot can opt to bring 2-3 cylindrical pots instead.

This two-day workshop is on Saturday and Sunday, April 27 and 28th, 10-3pm with a 1 hour lunch break.

Images shown are samples of Kenny Sing’s work and patterns available may differ at the workshop.

Additional Workshop Info and Terms:

Included in this workshop are the materials for stenciling, underglazes, clear glaze, and a Cone 5 glaze firing. Attendees must bring bisqueware made of Cone 5 Clay in order to participate in Dusted and Blue’s provided kiln firing. If attendee brings clay that does not meet the firing standards, they can forgo the glaze firing and must arrange their own final firing. Additionally attendees are allowed to bring their own glazes for their pots. If they are participating in the provided kiln firing, the glaze must be Mid-fire, Cone 5. Any items that melt in the kiln due to the incorrect clay body or glaze, will be charged a fee for the replacement of the kiln shelf.

If an attendee is traveling and wants to plan accordingly, they can plan to pick up their glazed pieces approximately 4 days after the workshop is completed.

Dusted and Blue can additionally offer shipping for those who are traveling. Please reach out to Dusted and Blue at Friends@dustedandblue.com to arrange shipping.

Once pieces are fired, attendees will be notified and items must be picked up within two weeks of notification.
