Overview

Learn techniques for creating beautiful clay impressions, one-of-a-kind works of art created by using colored clay rather than paint or ink. Written by one of the art's foremost proponents and practioners, this complete and easy-to-use book describes the basics and leads the reader through the process step-by-step. Using readily available materials everyone can use these methods to create wonderful works of art. The unique quality of Clay Impressions comes about through an unusual new technique that uses tinted liquid clay (slip) and individually prepared pastels applied directly to a clay matrix with a brush, sieve, or various stencils. The colors are then inlaid into the matrix using newsprint and a simple roller. An impression is created by transferring the image from the clay matrix to canvas. The result-colorful clay impressions that can be framed under glass or stretched within a frame.
