Decorate Your Own Stem Vase/ Planter Pot Workshop

About

Join Ceramic Designer Alex Allday in her studio at Middleport Pottery for a hands-on pottery workshop decorating your own stem vase or planter pot.

Spend a relaxing couple of hours learning how to decorate your own porcelain stem vase or planter pot with a variety of surface decoration techniques and processes using coloured slips and different tools to create sgraffito, textures and patterns. You will be given a choice at the start of the workshop whether you would like to decorate a stem vase or planter pot.

Vases and planter pots will be ready slip casted for you to work straight on to and you will be able to practise your designs and the shown techniques onto clay tiles before decorating your piece. If you choose to decorate a planter pot, you will have the option to have it as a hanging planter pot if desired. Holes will be applied to your pot and will be strung up for you ready to hang after it has been fired.

This workshop is the perfect experience to gift to a loved one or enjoy with friends and embrace some time to yourself getting creative.

The size of your finished and fired vase or planter pot will be as follows:

Stem vase: H20cm x W6cm

Planter Pot: H8.5cm x W10cm

Cost: £40 per person

Which includes all materials and firing
