That’s how Austin ceramic artist Autumn Scott sees clay — and in this hands-on workshop, she’ll show you how to layer, carve, and paint your way to two completely unique pieces.

Join us for Clay Collage with Arrow Ceramics, a playful exploration of surface design on clay. No experience necessary — this workshop is all about experimentation.

What You’ll Do

Autumn will guide you through a range of techniques for building up layers and texture on clay:

• Transfers – apply pre-printed designs to your pieces

• Underglaze – paint directly onto the clay surface

• Spray paint – add depth and atmosphere with controlled sprays

• Sgraffito – carve through layers to reveal what’s underneath

• Clay attachments – add dimensional elements

• Colored slips – create rich, pigmented surfaces

You’ll apply these techniques to two pre-thrown pieces: a mug and a hanging wall tile. Both are yours to keep, and we’ll fire them for you.

About the Artist

Autumn Scott has worked in ceramics for fifteen years and creates from her studio in Austin. To Autumn, pottery is a blank canvas: she draws, carves, and paints directly onto the clay, shaped by her background in printmaking and graphics.

She finds inspiration in Texas flora and fauna, and in the architecture and graffiti of the city around her — layering techniques and styles into pieces that are completely unique.

Spots Are Limited

This small-group workshop is designed to give you plenty of hands-on time with Autumn. Space is limited, so don’t wait to reserve your spot.

We can’t wait to see what you create!
