Online Demonstration: Make a Collage Plate out of Thin Slabs of Clay with Stephanie Burton

My collage plates are reminiscent of a mixed media collage, however, we will be using clay! With a combination of hand-carved stamps and various other textures from my stamp collection, we will be creating a collage plate using a menagerie of different textures. I enjoy pairing a glossy glaze next to a matte glaze to add some additional interest!

You Will Learn:

• Good craftmanship using slab construction and multiple hand building techniques
• A new arsenal of tools & methods
• About brushing glazes and a few glaze design aesthetics

Materials Needed:

• large clay slab
• small or large bisque plate form
• work surface (I use 2.5x2.5 drywall from home depot/lowes (precut)
• two smaller boards (larger than your bisque plate form)
• assortment of stamps (large & small)
• large & small cookie cutters with a scalloped edge
• rolling pin
• ruler
• large & small brush
• squeegee or a soft Sherrill Mudtools
