Stencils for Dynamic Ceramic Surface with Shalya Marsh
Do you want to create more dynamic and personalized surfaces on your pots? In this workshop you will learn how to make and use stencils to create incredible ceramic surfaces!
In this hands-on workshop, Shalya Marsh will demonstrate her strategies for using craft cutters (such as the Silhouette Cameo and Cricket Maker) to cut stencils for dynamic ceramic surfaces. Whether you have a craft cutter, or are thinking of getting one, this workshop will introduce you to a variety of ways to make and use stencils. Not a fan of technology but really want to know how to use stencils to spice up your surfaces. Have no fear, this process also works with hand cut stencils.
2024 Pottery Show
The BRPG Annual Show and Sale has been held yearly since 2000.
During that first year, the show hosted 15 of the Guild’s ceramic artists at Virginia Western Community College.
Through the years, the venue has changed several times to accommodate as many as 70 potters. The show is currently held at Patrick Henry High School in Roanoke, Virginia during the fall season. Highlights of the event include multiple exhibits and the sale of diverse ceramic art including contemporary sculpture, wall art, and functional ware. Throughout the weekend, customers have the opportunity to observe potters demonstrate various clay techniques and decorating skills. For added fun, show attendees have the chance of winning one of the beautiful door prizes, all of which have been donated by participating potters.
