Ceramic Decorating Workshop: Whales

Decorate your own pottery with whale-themed transfers!



2 hours Location Weston Class size 1 to 15 guests   $165 (Afterpay available)

Join Amy from Deep Blue Ceramics in a whale-inspired pottery workshop in Canberra.
In this beginner-friendly workshop, you will learn how to make and decorate a platter, bowl and small dish with whale underglaze transfer. You will also have the option of painting your creations with underglaze paints.
After the workshop, Amy will take your creations back to the studio to dry, be fired and clear glazes and fired again before you can collect them approximately 3-4 weeks later.
These transfers were made and produced by the very talented Jasmine from Coastal Studio Ceramics, who we’ve purchased them from especially for this workshop. The images used are gratefully used with permission from Jasmine.
