FULL DAY – CERAMIC FLOWER MAKING WORKSHOP

$420.00
Only 4 available

CREATE YOUR OWN BURST OF SPRING IN CLAY

In this full-day hands-on workshop, you’ll create and decorate a collection of eight ceramic flowers, exploring different flower forms, colour combinations, surface decoration and individual design.

You’ll have access to my glaze and underglaze colour tests to help you plan your palette, and you can make your flowers as colourful as you like. Create traditional flowers, develop your own theme, or mix things up and do a little of both.

Come with an idea or theme you’d like to explore, or simply arrive ready to experiment. I’ll work with you throughout the day to develop your ideas, colour palette and individual flower collection.

Your finished collection can become a fabulous burst of ceramic flowers for your garden or displayed together in a vase in your home.

With a maximum of just four students, you’ll have plenty of individual guidance throughout the day.

Duration: Full Day
Maximum: 4 students
Date: TBA
Where: Killarney Vale, Central Coast NSW
Skill Level: Beginners — no experience necessary
