Art Lab: Patterned platters

Art Lab: Patterned platters

Create your own uniquely shaped and decorated ceramic platters. Local ceramic artist Carol Hoggart will guide you in designing and creating two organically shaped platters in time for Christmas. (Or you can opt for four small dishes instead.) She’ll show you how to decorate with a blend of colours and then carve patterns, images, and words into the coloured surface. If you’d like to use a particular image as a basis for your decoration, please bring along a to-scale print out (on ordinary copier paper is fine).

Technical details: the platters will be hand-built, coloured with underglaze, then sgraffito patterned. Your final products will be clear glazed and high-fired to Cone 10 for strength. That is, you can definitely use them for food!

Suited to absolute beginners as well as those with pottery experience.

Time: Friday 4th of December from 6 to 8pm
Ages: 18+ years
Cost: $80 per person
All materials provided, glazing and firing included.
