This is the view from our clayprint studio of the lake at Thunder Mountain, part of the Peters Valley Arts Education Center. Next door in our building were jewelry makers. The weavers had their own studio, and the blacksmiths, their own shop.

Hard at work! My table mate has pots of colored slip at hand. She painted stripes of color onto newsprint and then will inlay these colors into the clay slab that we print from.










Here is the slab with other colors that she has already inlaid. The sprayer is used to spritz water on the clay slab to keep it just barely moist. The pizza roller is the most often used tool; used to inlay colored clay as well as used as a brayer to pull the print.
