On April 12, I invite you to come and create a set of animal sculptures / vases with me. It will be a fun and inspiring morning in which you will learn some basic sculpting and decorating techniques, and explore your creativity. And: the vases will be yours to keep afterward.

All experience levels are welcome ❤️ Find all the details below:

Make your own Ceramic animal vases

In this workshop, you will be making two animal vases. We will be adding a tony hole to your pieces, so they can carry flowers. You will choose and create your own designs (f.e. a pup, kitty or a bird) and you will paint them with colored clay slip. I will be there to guide you through the process and provide you with tips and inspiration. After the workshop, I will fire your pieces, and you will receive them by mail.

Setup

The workshop will take place in my cozy ceramics studio in Utrecht, and it will have a total duration of about three hours. At 10am, we will start the workshop with an introduction on sculpting animals and painting them with clay slip. I will also share techniques on how to add different details and designs to them, so you can give them your own personal touch. 

After this, you will start creating the vases. I love color and will make sure there will be lots of different colors to paint your pieces with :) I will be there to guide you in the process and provide help and assistance whenever needed. Occasionally, you will be served coffee, tea and a snack. 

After the workshop, I will ask you to leave your creations in the studio. I will dry- and fire them, and once they are finished, I will ship them to your home. This will happen in approximately three weeks.

Important to know

- As you will be working with clay and clay slip, make sure to wear something that can get dirty. Clay is easy to wash out, fortunately:)

- There will be coffee, tea and some nice snacks to enjoy
- Cancellation is possible up until 3 days prior to the start of the course

- Your vases will be shipped to you by mail
- A few days before the course, you will receive an email from me with some additional info and reminders. 

Gold Luster

Many of my sculptures carry gold luster details on them, but due to technical reasons we won't be working with gold luster in the workshop. In case you would like your vases to have gold details on them, I can apply this for you afterward. This will cost an additional 7 euros for each piece. Note that it may take a bit longer before you receive your creations by mail, as they will need one extra firing session.
