In this full day hands-on slip transfer workshop, you will learn how to create and use your own slip transfers using newsprint, underglaze and slip. You will learn how to outline a design with a slip trailer as part of this process. This monoprinting technique is an easy and effective way to bring your pieces to life with colour and design! You will also be shown how using a light box can be used to transfer designs and patterns easily and quickly using tracing methods and a slip trailer. You will have an opportunity to try out this equipment for yourself.
Some inspiration will be provided in the way of pattern and clipart books, but please do bring any design ideas you want to try!
