1 March | Botanical Printmaking | on Ceramics

• During this 2.5-hour hands-on session, you will have the opportunity to create your own beautiful botanical prints.

• We provide 3 balls of clay, allowing you to create a mini dish and two botanical tiles. To enrich your experience, we offer a wide selection of beautiful flowers and leaves for you to choose from and incorporate into your designs.
• The workshop includes one piece to be glazed and fired by us. Additional pieces can be finished for an extra cost of €18 per piece.
• A warm drink and a home-baked cake are included in the workshop price.

In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to create botanical designs on clay. We will guide you through the process step by step — from preparing the clay, rolling it out evenly, and planning your design, to cutting, impressing, and finishing your pieces.

During the workshop, you will:

• Prepare and roll out your clay to a smooth, even surface

• Select and arrange flowers and leaves for your design

• Impress your chosen designs into the clay

• Cut and shape your clay into tiles or a mini dish

• Smooth edges and add finishing touches to your pieces

• Enjoy a warm drink and home-baked cake while you create

Please note: Firing your clay artwork takes time. First, the pieces need to dry thoroughly before they go into the kiln at 1000°C for the initial firing. After that, we apply the glaze in the color of your choice so your piece is beautifully finished, and then it is fired again at 1220°C.

For those traveling from afar, we can ship your finished pieces for the cost of shipping.

We recommend that you wear old clothes or bring an apron with you.
