In this class each student will get to decorate their own mug by using the technique of paper resist. Mugs will be provided by facilitator, Bó Studios ceramicist, Etaoin O’Reilly.  This is a straightforward technique that Etaoin uses in her own work to get clean lines. Students can decorate their mug in a variety of different colours and construct their own handle giving it a personal twist.
