In this workshop we will be dissolving the mystery behind graphic image application onto clay! Experience with either working in Photoshop, screenprinting, or working with clay is a plus but not required. We’ll be learning basic screen printing techniques, studio etiquette at Iowa City Press Co-op & the IC Fab Lab, various techniques to print on clay, and more! You will return home with glazed and printed clay creations of your own and a new skillset to apply to or influence your own creative practice!
registration deadline: July 25
open to ages 18+
