Ceramic Paint Workshop ONLINE

Learn how to make Ceramic Paint with locally sourced raw clay and/or mud.
Collect your own (locally) sourced raw material and transform this into usable pigments to colour porcelain or stoneware  during an online workshop.

How it works:

• Go out and collect a natural material you would like to work with, best would be wild clay or mud, can be with small sand particles. You can test if the material is suitable by taking a small amount in your hands and try to press it together. The more the material sticks and stays in shape, the better results you will get when making Ceramic Paint. If you have any doubts about the material, please let me know.
• Dry the raw material and remove bigger particles such as stones, leaves and twigs. You will need approx. 200 gram

During the workshop I will guide you through the process of making Ceramic Paint. You will learn every single step by using your own material. 2-3 weeks before the workshop I will send you instructions and ingredients, including 4 bisque fired porcelain samples. In total we will test 5 different recipes.
