Eye of the Dog is proud to host a much requested workshop with a virtuoso paperclay artist, Graham Hay.  Mr. Hay will be coming to Texas from his home in Perth, Australia.                             Workshop outline: Radical Paperclay

A hands on, fun, information packed workshop from this paperclay expert.  Paperclay is any clay to which cellulose has been added.  All traditional, and now radical techniques can be used; pieces can be worked on, added to or removed, at any stage.  This includes dry-to-dry joins, wet-to-dry joins!  Learn about “dip and stick”, foodclay, speed firing, rough throwing, non firing, non-glaze decoration and many more techniques. Gain a complete understanding of paperclay. Techniques will be illustrated, then demonstrated to you step by step, with plenty of time to have a go yourself, with expert support. Create detailed and expressive sculptures with paper clay while discovering its unique energy, resources and time saving properties. Graham has a well deserved reputation for highly informative, but fun workshops.
