About The Event

Power Hour

Ceramic surface design can be similar to that of a canvas  telling a story. We will explore effective ways to compose  imagery on slabs and then onto vertical forms. With a brief  look at classic ceramic design, we will then discuss line,  texture, slips, underglaze, and oxides. Techniques like  sgraffito, Mishima, paper and tape masking, and wax resist will also be introduced. In the process of creating new surfaces for  his work, Chris will inspire you to think about surfaces in new  ways.

Chris Parris

Born into a family of artists, Christopher was placed into the  arts at a very early age. Growing up on Cape Cod with its high  concentration of potters, there were many opportunities for  learning about clay.

Chris' training includes a degree in Mechanical Engineering,  studies at Kansas City Art Institute and Penland School of  Craft. Apprenticeships and employment include Dimitri Hadzi,  Castle Hill Center for the Arts, Sarah Kersten Studio, and Parris Works Pottery. The rich history of ceramics and the decorative arts as well as Cape Cod's beaches,
