Learn about surface decoration and make four tiles

Ceramic artist Raymond leads participants through an eight-hour journey, divided into four engaging sessions, to get acquainted with the art of ceramic tile creation and decoration.

The workshop starts with the preparation of greenware tiles, where attendees craft 4-6 tiles, including two spares, under Raymond's expert guidance. This foundational step sets the stage for the subsequent sessions. 

The second session introduces the intricate technique of underglaze transfer. Participants receive hands-on training to apply this skill to one of their crafted tiles, adding a unique touch to their creations. This process not only enhances their artistic flair but also deepens their understanding of ceramic artistry.

In the third session, Raymond shifts the focus to decorating a bisque piece. Attendees are encouraged to bring their preferred patterns and sketches. The session revolves around replicating these designs onto a tile, offering a personalised experience and the chance to realise their artistic visions.

The final session delves into the technique of wax resistance decoration on two bisque pieces. Here, participants have the freedom to either utilise existing patterns provided by the workshop or unleash their creativity by designing their own. This session not only consolidates the skills learned in previous sessions but also allows for a personal expression of style.

Throughout the workshops, Raymond ensures a professional and conducive environment, fostering learning and creativity.
