On June 15th, I invite you to come and paint a pair of weirdo bud vases with me. It will be a fun and inspiring afternoon in which you will learn new decorating skills and explore your creativity. And: the two weirdo bud vases will be yours to keep afterward!

Paint your own set of Ceramic Weirdo Bud Vases

In this course, you will be decorating Weirdo Bud Vases with colored clay slip; the material I use to paint my ceramics. Each student will be given two pre-made bud vases, which you will be painting entirely with your own design. After painting the vases, I will glaze- and fire your pieces, after which you will receive them by mail.

Setup

I will start the workshop with an introduction on painting with clay slip. I will also share some techniques on how I paint some of my favorite pattern designs, and I will share lots of inspiration and examples to help you get started.

After this, we will start painting the bud vases, with help of the examples and techniques I shared. You will start with the face and hair of your characters, before moving to the body of the vases, which you will paint with designs by your choice.

I love color, and I will make sure there will be lots of different colors to choose from! The patterns I paint on my work can be diverse, ranging from polka dots to botanical details. Whichever design you will choose to paint, I will be there to assist and guide you through it, when needed.
