2 Taster - Introduction Play w/ Clay Handbuilding

This is a live 2 x class 3 -hour session in the studio, where you come in the first week and create with clay, then return the following to paint it.

A great fun activity for those that want a bit of design work and color on their creations. Grab your friends, family, or even just by yourself and have a go at playing with clay and paint like Picasso in our 2 sessions.

You will be focusing on basic hand-building pottery techniques.to make simple pinch pot bowls or mugs or pot planters. Then you can choose your colors and design to make your piece unique and functional as these can be used every day and go into the dishwasher and microwave.

We will glaze it with a clear glaze, and your colors will brighten up and leave you with a glossy and bright finish.

We will provide you with what you need with our tools to use AND includes all firings, Underglaze paints of your choice, and glaze in our cost for one piece.

All pieces will need at least 3-4 weeks for firing and glazing. You must return to pick up your creations from the studio at a later date

The art of creating and painting on Ceramics, Canvas or wooden coasters is not only fun but very therapeutic, which has become extremely important in this time of self-isolation. Here at Tennyson Studio we recommend you to join us in our online classes to promote mental wellbeing in our communities. With the need for physical distancing and restrictions, we have created virtual Ceramic and Acrylic Art classes to keep you and your children busy and creative in the comfort of your own home.

With no painting experience needed, we will provide you a step by step guided lesson through an interactive live streaming video class on Zoom. We provide you with all the essentials in a take-home kit to recreate your very own masterpieces. Kit includes paints needed, brushes, Canvas or Bisqued fired plate or wooden coasters and shipping to your home. For Ceramics, you will need to drop off and pick up pieces to us at the studio in Gladesville where we will glaze and fire your plates, (pick up 4-5 days later) or pay additional freight to be shipped to your home. We have many sessions available for you to choose, from plates to acrylic painting on canvas and watercolor on paper and wooden coasters ready primed and ready for painting.
