Creating Embossing Tools Demo

During this demo, Christine will show students how to create both large and small texture plates. These plates can be added to all types of clay objects and utilized in many applications, including functional and sculptural work. The teaching artist will review her design approach, material choices, and durability when creating texture plates.

Students will be provided with a list of materials and an outline of her process for reference following the demo.
