This workshop will explore hand-building, layering, sgraffito, and watercolour-style underglaze techniques to create personalised expressions of nature and memories through functional and sculptural porcelain vessels. Participants will have the opportunity to explore two distinctive areas of ceramics. Firstly, they will learn the process of creating a canvas on hand-built and wheel-thrown bases using fresh porcelain clay. Secondly, students will use commercial watercolour-style underglazes to create perspective and depth on bisque-fired surfaces and imitate traditional China paint effects.
During this two-week workshop, participants will be individually guided to find their unique voice through clay, using the visual vocabulary of surrounding nature as a starting point for expressing their own emotions and feelings. The day will start with demonstrations, discussions, and sharing ideas, then will focus on individually finding the best hand-building technique for each person’s nature-inspired creation. It is a free-forming hand-building workshop, welcome to professional artists and artistic enthusiasts, regardless of one’s previous knowledge or experience.
