Take an after-work hour, learning and make your own personalised rustic tile.
Experience this groovy decorative method for decorating raw pottery. I will help you plan and do your own tile. These are groovy for newborn records, pet memorials or just your favourite art style.
I will look after your tile while it dries and take it through the two firing processes. Then you can pick up your finished work.

We are making One Piece Casting Moulds
Join us for a collaborative, hands on workshop where participants will
• Make and resolve several forms to cast
• Pour your plaster cast (one main and several mini ones)
• Experience slip casting in an existing mould
• Dress your mould for later use.
Casting is a wonderful method for making sets of pottery work, bringing consistency to your production.
Cast making skills will allow you to be more deliberate in your form making and give you freedom to explore your glazing work in a way that can bring your body of work together.
Join us!
The workshop is held at Sculpture Play 3D, Newbury, Palmerston North.
Places are limited.
All materials supplied.
Bring a note book or visual diary
Bring inspiration for tumblers, bowls or tiny plates.
Bring your lunch
Pottery wheel available for use.
