Mastering Thrown Forms w/ Hsin-Chuen Lin

About this event

Join Clayroom San Mateo for this immersive two-day intensive workshop designed for advanced wheel throwers looking to elevate surface decoration techniques. Hsin will demonstrate his meticulous methods for enhancing wheel-thrown forms, including chattering, sgraffito carving at the leather-hard stage, sodium silicate crackle effects, and roller textures applied before volumizing. Participants will have hands-on time to experiment with tools and techniques, with additional instruction tailored to individual interests. This workshop includes one 25 lb bag of midrange clay, bisque and glaze firing services, basic throwing and trimming tools, sodium silicate, slips, and Leslie's brand underglazes. Please bring any special throwing tools, paint brushes, underglazes, etc if desired.
