Under Glaze Workshop

Workshop Description

This 3-hour workshop introduces participants to the basics of decorating ceramics using slip layers and underglaze colors. The session focuses on simple and effective techniques for adding drawings and color to ceramic surfaces.

During the workshop, participants will:

1. Understand Slip Layers and Color Basics
Learn the role of slip in ceramic decoration and how underglaze colors work on clay surfaces.

2. Transfer a Drawing onto a Ceramic Piece
Practice simple techniques for transferring a design onto a ceramic surface while becoming familiar with the basic tools and brushes used for underglaze decoration.

3. Apply Color and Finish a Personal Design
Participants will decorate their own ceramic piece by applying a design, coloring it with underglazes, and preparing it for glazing.

By the end of the session, each participant will have a decorated ceramic piece ready for glazing and a basic understanding of ceramic surface decoration techniques.

Collection of Your Pieces

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.
