Discover Handbuilding: Pet Portrait Tiles
Class | Available
Make a tile portrait of your best furry (or feathered) friend! This introduction to underglaze decoration allows those who are curious about working with clay to try their hand at it in a fun, relaxed environment. Join us for this two-hour discovery workshop, where we will use various decorating techniques to transfer a photo image of your pet onto a ceramic tile. Fired work can be picked up about two weeks later.
All supplies included.
All levels, age 16+ (younger students can register with a registered parent.)
Once registered, please email a photo (or a few photos) of your pet to Amelia at amelia@oliverart.org.
