Shaping Ornaments Into Characters & Colorful Decorations

Shaping Ornaments Into Characters & Colorful Decorations

It is with great pleasure that we welcome Barbara for this workshop on creating holiday ornaments. Barbara creates colorful ceramic characters that you may have already seen in our store or on our social networks because we fire her pieces in the workshop. Each year, she creates a Christmas collection of ornaments to hang on the tree. Participate in this workshop to create your own!

 

In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to create 4 or 5 character-shaped ornaments with the shaping technique that Barbara uses and under her expert advice! Then you will decorate them with underglazes. We will then fire and glaze the pieces in transparent for you.

 

When: Saturday, November 30, from 10am to 4pm (FRENCH)

To take full advantage of your workshop

We recommend arriving a few minutes before class starts and waiting in our café area. Take the opportunity to grab a bite to eat or order a coffee if you wish! You will be able to enter the studio at your scheduled class time.

Children welcome from 8 years old if accompanied by an adult who must also reserve a place.


Some recommendations before making pottery

  • Keep your nails short
  • Do not wear rings, bracelets or watches
  • Wear clothing and shoes suitable for a workshop. It is recommended to bring an apron or cloths to dry your hands.
  • Clean your hands when entering the workshop
  • Thoroughly clean the equipment you will use during classes

Firing of the pieces

You will receive an email when your pieces are ready, approximately 3 weeks after the workshop. As our emails often end up in junk boxes, add us to your contacts so you don't miss it!

It is possible that a piece may break during firing, as ceramics is a complex art that involves several risks throughout the process. If your piece has not survived the process, we unfortunately do not offer replacements or re-runs.
