Instructor : Deena Samy
Workshop Description :
Discover the art of cuerda seca, a beautifully expressive pottery technique that uses resist lines to keep glaze colors crisp, clean, and perfectly separated. In this hands-on course, you’ll learn how to transfer a design onto your ceramic piece—or let your creativity flow freehand. From there, you’ll carefully trace your lines using a resist medium, taking your time to build a strong foundation for your design.
Once your outlines are complete, the real magic begins: filling each section with vibrant glaze. The process feels wonderfully calming—almost like coloring in a book, but on a three-dimensional surface. As you work, you’ll find yourself settling into a slow, meditative rhythm, making this course as relaxing as it is rewarding.
By the end, you’ll walk away with a richly detailed, one-of-a-kind piece that reflects your personal style and creativity—something truly unique that you can be proud of.
Before you come:
Kindly be on time
Wear comfertable clothes
Aprons are available but you can bring your own if you prefer
Your pottery pieces will need to go through the drying and firing process before they are ready for collection.
All pieces will be ready for pick-up approximately 10 working days after the date of the workshop.
Please note that the firing process takes time, so pieces cannot be collected immediately after the session.
