Intro to Ceramics and Surface Design techniques

West Hove Art Studio, Hove, BN3 5HR
2 hrs 30 mins
Arts & Culture Crafts

Hand build and mould a set of small objects or tiles and learn decorating techniques that work across a set of objects. Experiment with slip colours, glaze materials and oxides.

You will learn brush techniques, mark making and illustrative application. We will use decorating oxides and tools for textures and discover some of the exciting chemistry in glaze materials.

You will finish the workshop with your own individual pieces and all the technical guidance you need for the session.

You will make a set of pieces using any tools and materials you like in my ceramics and glaze kit.

I will take your piece away at the end of the session to bisque fire - followed by a transparent glaze firing over your design.

You can pick your work up from my studio or I can send it out to you for a post and packaging fee £4.50.
