As an equal opportunity satirist, Stuart Asprey creates multi-layered, portrait vessels using standard hand-building techniques like pinch, coil and slab. This workshop will introduce students to the essentials skills of fabrication and decoration using porcelain.  Porcelain vessels are refined and smoothed out to produce pristine canvas like surfaces.  Imagery and visual content is applied by using basic transfer techniques and painting layers of homemade colored slips on bone dry clay.
