Description
Throughout the day, students will learn techniques for applying collage elements to ceramic surfaces. We will experiment with different themes, memories or abstract designs; to produce your own unique, display-ready art plates to hang on the wall (not food or dishwasher safe). Emphasis will be placed on personal expression and experimentation. All materials supplied but you are welcome to bring your own special collected pieces of fabric or lace/buttons/ shells etc that you would like to include.
This course is ideal for both beginners, crafters or anyone interested in collage type art, ceramics, mosaics, or mixed media. No prior experience is required—just curiosity and a willingness to play with a plate!
Expected learning outcomes
- Learn how to apply transfers to ceramics and where to buy supplies
- Learn about glues and techniques for mosaic/collage
- Leave the course equipped to carry on making similar pieces at home
What to bring
- Your lunch on Saturday. We'll provide tea and coffee in the staffroom.
