Turning, texturing, carving and coloring bowls and platters with Nick Agar.
In this demonstration Nick will

  • Turn and decorate a platter using airbrushing to enhance the surface, with peel-off  and unique infill stencils.
  • Turn and carve an ancient bronzed bowl, employing carbide tips and rotary brushes for the texture and reactive paints and Chroma-Gilt to give a realistic aged rust and verdigris patina.

The admission, which includes lunch, is only $60.00.
