Relief Carving for Lunar New Year with Tiffany Saw
About this Workshop
We’re bringing in local artist, Tiffany Saw, to teach a two-session Lunar New Year themed workshop! During the first session, Tiffany will show relief carving techniques she learned in Jingdezhen, China. After the demo, everyone will be encouraged to carve an image of a snake––the 2025 zodiac sign. The second session will be focused on staining and glazing your bisqued piece. Students are required to bring a thrown and trimmed, leather hard pot (white stoneware or porcelain) with walls at least 1/4 in. thick. Firing of one piece is included in this workshop.
About Tiffany
Tiffany Saw is a Brooklyn based ceramic artist focused on making functional pieces inspired by traditional Chinese and Myanmar pottery. Her work is a hybrid of both American and Chinese throwing techniques finished with traditional carving she learned in Jingdezhen. She spends hours hand-carving each of her pieces and works to create fine and delicate detail in the flora and fauna that cover her pots.
