Description
This workshop is focussed on getting a beginner’s understanding of the use of ceramic watercolours, especially in the context of painting on an absorbent surface and including the pitfalls that can occur with that.
You will learn the tips & tricks (+ a handout on this) to get a more reliable result decorating pottery with ceramic watercolours.
We will explore different approaches of using ceramic watercolours on a bisqued surface and the different effects each achieves. We will use a textured surface as well as smooth.
Yasmin will start by demonstrating the basic concepts and show some tips & tricks (also written down in the handout). Participants then get to choose one bisqued Porcelain tile plus a smaller pendant/brooch (supplied by Yasmin), and learn how to paint/decorate this with Yasmin’s support. Participants can bring any of their own bisqued work if they want to try the watercolours on their own pots.
