Ceramic artists accompany them in the design using various shaping and decorating techniques. -The design and use of preparatory techniques: drawings, sketches, templates, drafts, and techniques for transferring drawings and illustrations – are an important part of implementing the pieces. -Shaping techniques (pinched, coiled, slab, and stamping) are introduced, consolidated, and combined. -The decoration on raw and/or bisque pieces: a wide choice of colors of slips and oxide washes is available, and decoration techniques are taught.
