Clay play with Deep Blue Ceramics is a fun hands-on class where you will learn the basics of creating with clay and have fun getting your hands grubby, creating your own gorgeous boob mug/tumbler/small planter pot with clay!
You will have the opportunity to learn about and play with clay and be introduced and guided in a variety of techniques to create your masterpiece, either functional or decorative or both!
Once your clay has taken shape, you can apply one of the underglaze transfers - either a whale or 'wild woman'. You will also have the option of painting your creations with underglaze paints.
These transfers were made and produced by the very talented Jasmine from Coastal Studio Ceramics, whom we’ve purchased them from, especially for this workshop. The images used are gratefully used with permission from Jasmine.
At the end of your class, your creation will be glazed and fired for you, ready to be collected a few weeks after the class. This class is perfect if you're searching for new things to do in Canberra!
