Delft Tile Workshop

In this class, we will be making our own delft tiles. Each student will roll out and cut 4″ x 4″ porcelain tiles, and use ceramic underglaze to paint on a design of their choice. We will look over tile examples from history, and brainstorm ideas of what each student would like to portray. There will be paper and pencils provided so each student can practice their sketches before painting the final piece. All tiles will be fired once dry at a later date, and available for pick up when ready.

As ceramics needs time to dry and go through the firing process, each student will have to wait for their piece to be finished within approximately 3 weeks.

Registration Includes

Instruction and all materials (clay, glaze, and brushes) are provided. Students can make up to four 4” x 4” tiles. All tiles will have a brushed on clear glaze applied and fired in a high fire kiln.
