Two-Day Hands-on/Demo Workshop with Paul Lewing Saturday & Sunday, February 2-3, 2008.

China paint (or overglaze enamel) has been a popular ceramic decorating medium for 1000 years, but is almost unknown among today's studio ceramists. However, it's more like watercolor or oil painting than any other ceramic material, and those ceramic artists who are painters at heart find it very exciting. Firings are fast and cheap, and colors are much the same before firing as after. In this workshop, potters will discover a new decorating technique, and traditional china painters will find new ways of applying a familiar material. All levels of skill in china painting, from beginner to professional, are welcome.

The workshop will be limited to 16 participants.
