Vibrant Vessels with Michelle Le Plastrier

29th March 2025

10am – 4pm

HOTA 

Have you been eyeing off wild and colourful vases and mugs on Instagram and Pinterest, are you envious of the wacky planters in your friends immaculately styled apartment? Join Michelle on a ceramic journey to create the vibrant vessel of your dreams! In this workshop you’ll learn how to create your own pinch pot or slab based vessel and then we’ll move through some decorating and embellishing techniques (handle adding for mugs) and add some vibrant underglaze colours to finalise your creation.

Your work will be ready in 4 weeks for collection or postage. This will allow for time for your piece to dry and be bisque fired and then clear glazed by Michelle, then finally glaze fired. (Please note postage will be at an addition postage and handling fee). You will receive an email via the email you purchased your tickets from when your pieces are ready for collection/postage.

Clay basics you will explore in this workshop:

• Pinch pot technique
• Slip + Score Joins
• Carving + Embellishing
• Underglazing

This workshop is suitable for all levels of experience. Come for a morning of creativity and play! All materials and tools will be provided. Workshop fee is inclusive of 1st and second firing and clear glazing of your piece.
