Mitch Lyons

Clay Monotype

Instructor: Mitch Lyons

Description:

Since 1968 he has been pioneering his image making from a slab of clay. First a slab of stoneware clay is rolled out about 1/4" thick. After allowing the slab to dry to a "leather hard" consistency, colored slips are made using China clay and permanent pigments. These colored slips are brushed on, dried and rolled into the clay slab, one color over another, building the design with images, colors and textures on the "matrix".


Once the slab is rolled flat, a moistened piece of paper/canvass is placed over the slab. Pressure is applied using a rolling pin to transfer the clay slips onto the substrate. Because China clay is inert and the pigments used are permanent and stable, the clays remain intact and will give pleasure for many years.

However, no discounts or refunds can be given for your late arrival or early departure. Under no circumstances are we responsible for your non refundable hotel or airline charges, so you may want to wait until this time to make plane reservations.

We can not reduce or waive these terms in the event of circumstances beyond our control such as illness, flight cancellations, war, terrorist attacks, injury or death, natural disaster, or force majeure. If, for reasons beyond our control, we are forced to cancel the workshop, we will do our best to provide a suitable alternative within the year. If any sentence of this agreement is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance thereof shall continue in full legal force and effect.
