Wed 8th & 29th June: Clay Block Printing Workshop

£100.00

With a growing interest amongst our customers wanting to explore other ways to use their printing blocks, we are teaming up with our sister company The Pottery Place to offer a Clay Workshop! The pieces made on this workshop will be hard wearing ceramic items that will be useable and dishwasher safe! Due to the clay needing time to dry and fired in-between stages the workshop will run over 2 sessions 3 weeks apart.

Workshop Part 1 is on Wednesday 8th June, in this session you will be making your Clay pieces. You will be taught a variety of techniques and make a selection of different clay items imprinted with wooden printing blocks such as Tiles, Tags, Bowls, Pots, Small Plates & more!

Your clay pieces will then be left to dry and then fired in the kiln ready for session 2.

Workshop Part 2 is on Wednesday 29th June, in this session your Clay pieces will have been bisque fired and ready for painting. Using our ceramic paints you will decorate your clay pieces. Your finished pieces will need another week to be glazed & fired before being collected from our studio or posted back to you.
