The workshop in detail

  • 3h
  • 15 years min.
  • 4 to 6 participants
  • The flowers you see are not real, but made of porcelain. In this workshop, you will learn how Anna does it. Step into her studio in bustling Amsterdam and discover where her flowers come to life.Ā 

    Tracing her artistic roots back to St Petersburg, Russia, Anna is well versed in the art of porcelain and mosaic. Her work can be seen in museums, public spaces and private collections worldwide, showcasing her mastery of porcelain.

    During the workshop you will have the unique opportunity to create two white porcelain flowers: a daffodil and a papaver. Anna will start by teaching you the basic skills needed to work with porcelain, followed by an explanation of her techniques and a display of samples she has created.

    You will then learn how to make the daffodil and papaver in white porcelain under Anna's guidance. Anna will be on hand throughout the process to offer help and advice if needed.Ā 

    So come to this workshop! It's a hands-on experience that will give you an insight into the artistry and craftsmanship behind Anna's porcelain flowers.

    Note. Be aware that this technique requires years of experience and you may not be able to make a flower exactly as Anna makes it. Anna will, however, help you get as far as you can. Also, be aware that Anna will glaze and fire the flowers after you created them and you'll have to come back to pick them up a few weeks after the workshop. You'll discuss the exact date with Anna directly.Ā Ā

    Wecandoo - Meet Anna

    Meet Anna

    Master of Porcelain

    Meet Anna, an artist with roots in St Petersburg, Russia. 

    Under the guidance of her father, a respected documentary filmmaker and photographer, Anna began honing her skills in drawing, composition and painting at an early age.

    Anna's expertise lies primarily in porcelain and mosaic art, which can be found in museums, public spaces and private collections worldwide. Through years of study and experimentation she has developed innovative techniques in porcelain and polyurethane casting.

    Based in Amsterdam, Anna's focus on porcelain art stems from her fascination with the beauty and fragility of flowers. Inspired by their ephemeral nature, she meticulously handcrafts each flower, using ancient Chinese recipes to achieve a delicate translucency.

    The result is a collection of porcelain flowers with intricate detailing and delicate surfaces reminiscent of fine jewellery. Anna's work captures the essence of nature's beauty while showcasing the versatility of porcelain as a medium.

    Anna Volkova's art invites the viewer to appreciate the timeless elegance of the flowers and the craftsmanship behind each piece.
