"Volumetric Image Transfer"
One day workshop by Forrest Middelton
Saturday, 17 January
10:00–16:00 (45-minute break)
GG Studios — 89a Shacklewell Ln, London E8 2EB
During this informative one-day workshop Forrest will demonstrate the "Volumetric Image Transfer" technique he has developed for adding silkscreened pattern and imagery to pots during the process of wheel throwing, as well as how he creates tile for his internationally renowned architectural lines of tile that he has become known for. Forrest's teaching style is very interactive, never a dull moment and lots of storytelling, humor, and conversations around content and history of ceramics, as well as a lifetime of tips and tricks and advice for those interested in the ins-and-outs of running a successful production and teaching studio. Masterful wheel-throwing, tile, storytelling, and laughter... what more could you ask for?
