Coloured clay class

Have fun and get messy (bring an apron!) discovering the many possibilities that colouring and layering different coloured clay bodies can give you.  In this class you will learn how to stain a white clay body using ceramic stains and oxides to create a beautiful multicoloured clay surface. 

You will be able to make 2-3 different colour clay bodies to use alongside white and speckled clays to make your pieces. You will be taught how to combine the coloured clays to make 2 pieces using our plate or bowl forms.  

The pieces you create can also be perfect as thoughtful gifts.
