Make your own ceramic plates with this hand-building ceramics course in LA! In this two-session workshop, students will create handmade plates from start to finish while learning the full process of working with clay.
In the first session, guided by an encouraging expert, you will focus on hand-building plates using slab techniques, with attention to form, balance, and function. Finished pieces will be bisque-fired by the studio between sessions.
In the second session, you will paint your bisque-fired plates using underglaze, exploring pattern, imagery, and surface design. After painting, the studio will apply a clear, food-safe glaze and complete the final firing.
This course is perfect for beginners curious about how to make ceramics, as well as those with some clay experience who want to make their own pieces in a studio setting, or if you're seeking a new creative hobby. Discover the process from raw clay to finished ware and make your own ceramic plate to add a little flair to your homeware.
