Learn the ABCs of making your own custom sprig molds from bisque fired clay! Sprigs are a wonderful way to enhance the surface of your forms, with reproducible elements that can be press molded again and again. Learn how to design and create bisque press molds, use similar molds, store and manage your sprigs, and apply them to your forms. A great workshop for anyone wanting to further enhance their ceramics surfaces, from pots to sculpture! Participants should bring two to three leather hard forms to practice application on.
