Liz will provide everything you’ll need—clay, underglazes, slip trailing bottles, brushes, and a few of her ‘secret weapons’ for creating. Just bring your creative spirit, your hands, and any favorite sculpting tools!
Enjoy hours of clay fun as you explore:
Day 1: Creation
Liz will provide a small clay greenware bubble for each student
Build a form to embellish and try hand-building techniques like pinch pots and small slabs as your canvas.
Experiment with wall-hanging methods and slip-trailing techniques.
Learn how to store in-progress ceramics for continued work.
Day 2: Embellishment
Continue adding details, drawing inspiration from books and materials shared in class.
Explore slip trailing and refine your hand-built forms.
Day 3: Under glazing

Begin under glazing on bisqued pieces with Amaco velvet underglazes.
Learn techniques for thinning underglazes with water and spray bottles
Finish with a final glaze application to achieve a glossy finish, using clear glaze or celadon.
This is an intermediate level class
Instructor Bio:
Liz Dumas-McMullan is a Canadian transplant to the sunny climes of Corpus Christi, Texas. She grew up reading sci-fi and fantasy novels, so her bright fantastical clay creations are an extension of that sense of magic and unreality that she has always appreciated. From the mysterious depths of the ocean to the rocky terrain of the moon and the tiny microcosms of flora and fauna, Liz’s work reimagines some of the most secretive realms of the universe. She has won Best of Show at the Art Center of Corpus’ national Dimension’s exhibit twice, and exhibited two solo shows at the Art Center of Corpus Christi.
