Making and Using Terra Sigillata with Handbuilt Earthenware
Rhonda Willers
Tuition $1,150

Terra sigillata is a fine clay slip with deep historical roots and strong traditions. Its colors are vast and can be layered and enhanced, resulting in a multitude of possibilities. Pairing it with handbuilt forms in red earthenware clay, students use terra sigillata and other surface materials to explore patterns, layered designs, and weathered surfaces. While this workshop focuses on the technical aspects and applications of terra sigillata making, it also aims to expand beyond the technique to create an environment of encouraged creative inquiry.
