Step into the world of engobe with Pepa and Nilu!
These two passionate ceramic artists are thrilled to welcome you to their beautiful studio. Today's workshop is all about decorating a porcelain plate with engobe, and they'll provide the plate for you or you can bring your own favorite piece of tableware.
After introductions, you'll gather around the artists to discuss and choose your preferred theme for the decoration. Whether it's flowers, nature, portraits, geometric patterns, or animals, they have an abundance of options to cater to everyone's tastes. You can also bring your own photos or explore their catalogue of inspirations and trends for ideas.
Patricia and Nilufar will then take you on a step-by-step journey to paint your plate, sharing various techniques and their best tips to ensure your creation turns out beautifully. They'll teach you how to work with brushes, pigments, and a rich palette of colours they've thoughtfully prepared just for you.
Once your artistic masterpiece is complete, you'll entrust it to their skilled hands for firing and glazing, ensuring it becomes a durable and functional piece for everyday use. Within a month, you can return to the studio to collect your finished creation.
By the end of this engaging workshop, you'll walk away with a sense of accomplishment, knowing you've crafted a unique item. Whether you choose to gift it to a loved one or proudly display it in your home, your engobe-decorated plate will be a true reflection of your creativity and passion for art!
