Workshops

I run a variety of ceramic workshops, from brooches to cake stands. Where I demonstrate how to work with porcelain, surface treatments and the application of under glaze colours. I run half-day workshops, or a combination to make a full day, and I'm happy to travel to your venue. Please drop me an e-mail to discuss your requirements. 

1. Porcelain surface decoration techniques, Katherine Staples gallery and studio, Wymondham, Leicestershire, 20th September.

I'm excited to say I'll be returning to Katherine's studio and gallery this Autumn. In this workshop we will cover lot's of decorative techniques from Sgraffito , textures and stamps, mono printing, resist, underglaze painting to working with oxides and slip. We will discuss glazing so you will have all the skills and knowledge to apply to your clay projects. You will finish the day with a beautiful set of samples or guidance can be given to turn them into a hand-built form of your choice.
