Ellie Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Traditionally a mud lark is someone who searches for items of value in river mud - lots of info on Google.- big tradition in England. However, according to the instructor, mudlarks Is a term used by artists ( at least in the U.S.) who practice this type of art with clay. It is slabbed and then creative designs applied, glazed and fired. I'm curious to see the results. Kiln is installed and other materials being set up.
