Hand-Illustrated Erotic Plate
Grab some friends and a bottle of wine and join me for a night of artistic exploration! Each student will get a pre-bisque fired ceramic plate handmade by yours truly. We will use transfer paper, slip, glaze, vintage and feminist porn, my original illustrations and your own work to compose hand-painted erotic plates. I will then fire to temp and they will be available to pick up the following week. Only 8 spots available per class.
