2-Part Clay Workshop with Indian Printing Blocks
Would you like to explore working with clay? Our 2-part workshop is a wonderful introduction to working with clay and using Indian printing blocks to create beautiful, imprinted patterns. Over the course of the workshop, you’ll explore various hand-building techniques and create a selection of ceramic items to use or display. The finished pieces will be durable, dishwasher-safe ceramics.
Due to the clay needing time to dry and be fired between stages, the workshop will run over two sessions spaced four weeks apart.
Workshop Details
Part 1: Tuesday 29th April
In this session, you’ll learn a variety of hand-building techniques and use wooden printing blocks to create patterns. You’ll make a selection of items, including:
- 4 x Decorations
- 6 x Tiles/Coasters
- 1 x Trinket Pot

- 1 x Platter/Plate
Your clay pieces will then be left to dry and fired in the kiln, ready for the second session.
Part 2: Wednesday, 14th May
Your bisque-fired clay pieces will be ready for painting during this session. Using ceramic paints, you’ll decorate your items, giving them a personal touch. Afterward, the pieces will be glazed and fired again. Finished items will be available for collection from our studio or can be posted to you.
