Learn how to make your own custom texture tools to enhance your pottery, all in less than 2 hours!
Do you want to create unique surfaces on your pottery that stands out from the crowd, but don’t know where to start?
Texture Tools is a quick and approachable workshop to help you elevate the surface of your pots and begin to find your style as an artist.
In the Texture Tools workshop you’ll learn how to make your very own custom stamps and textured rollers using clay and tools you already have on hand, all in under 2 hours! This means you won't have to buy expensive or generic pottery tools ever again. You know, those same ones that everyone else already has?!
I created Texture Tools — a quick and approachable workshop — to give you a jump start into creating more interesting surfaces on your pottery. Maybe you’re looking to create more unique and rich surfaces on your pots, but don’t know where to start? Or maybe you’re tired of using the same old surface treatments you’ve been using, and looking to take your pots to the next level?
If you want easy and affordable texture and surface solutions for your pots, Texture Tools is the workshop for you!
In this workshop I will teach you how to add more style and interest to your work in less than 2 hours, by showing you how to:
- Create your own textured and carved bisque rollers and stamps using simple tools you have on hand in your studio.
- Use these stamps and rollers to add interesting surfaces and textures to your pottery, regardless of what kind of work you make.
- Learn basic surface strategies for decorating pots with texture.
And as a bonus, I’m also including these lessons for free:
- A video of how I mix my joining slip
- A resource page with ideas for where to get inspiration for adding texture and creating patterns.
- A PDF download of my White Slip and Clear Glaze recipes (for use at cone 6 and under).
What Students are saying about Naomi’s Workshops:
"Naomi has such a relaxed and down-to-earth approach to teaching and is VERY generous with all she share. Love her workshops! I have attended two so far and look forward to more. Naomi is an EXCELLENT teacher! I've learned so much from her!" Lin
“I have taken two workshops with Naomi and I learned so much at both! She is so patient and open with information and tips, which makes her so approachable for students and people learning. After those two workshops I would definitely take another workshop with Naomi!” Hannah
“I took your surface decoration workshop awhile back and just wanted to thank you!! I’ve been stuck on a project for too long—your workshop was very inspiring and really helped me focus on simplifying my idea.” Heather
“Great workshop again today. It was just what I needed. I'm motivated to get in the studio and dive in again – thank you!” Gretchen
“I've taken 3 virtual workshops so far from Naomi Clement, and each one gives me such inspiration! I find myself watching more than once, taking copious notes, and so totally engaged that I'm amazed 2 hours can go by so quickly! Naomi is clear, concise, and very willing to answer all questions during the demo. I've asked Naomi questions post-workshop and she is incredibly responsive and kind. I really hope one day to take an in-person workshop from Naomi, but for now I will settle for online and look forward to more in 2021! Kim
