Decorating with Tape Resist
Project Starts October 29th
Learn how to create beautiful, detailed patterns on your pottery using vinyl tape and glaze!
This is a technique I used for years to create simple patterns, and I taught it quite a bit in my studio in the early days. Ryan has since taken this skill to a whole new level, creating intricate designs that work beautifully around handles, spouts, and other features of his pots. Lucky for you, I managed to convince him to share his process with all of us!
In this two-week course, Ryan walks you through everything from planning and applying tape to glazing, removing the tape, and cleaning up those crisp lines before firing.

What Ruthie's students are saying
"Such good training. I really like how the projects get broken down into sets of skills to focus on one by one and how you address issues that might come up throughout the videos and then answer more questions in the live segments. It's brilliant. I looked at a few courses before deciding to try yours and have been really thrilled by your approach and ideas and appreciation of how individual goals might differ. I'm just waiting for my juicer to get fired but was so shocked I'd been able to make it that I made a second one. And there are so many more projects on your site!

"I have done many in-person classes this year, and nothing has provided me the most guidance, and invaluable advice like your tutorials and videos do. I will be referring my friends that try pottery directly to your website! Even as I get comfortable in the craft, I think I will always refer back to your programs here.
Thank you, thank you thank you!!"

"Ruthie has a way of teaching in class that makes it easy to understand. Her passion and personality comes across with every project and her ability to relay technique, problem solving and so many details about throwing a successful pot has transformed me from a "wanna be" to a potter."
