Marita Manson – Using Paper Porcelain Collage to Create Colourful Mugs
Hi, my name’s Marita Manson, and in this online workshop, I will be teaching you how to prepare and use coloured paper porcelain to create a unique slab mug. Using this method to decorate your work allows for you to play freely with your surfaces while creating works with lots of depth.
I will demonstrate how I prepare multicoloured slabs, and decorate them using thin sheets of clay that I cut with scissors. There will be tips and tricks shared for keeping your fresh designs from smudging while manipulating the slabs into mugs, and various strategies I use to prevent cracks in my translucent porcelain. Finally I will discuss and demonstrate my method for making a handle that is both comfortable and contemporary.
