Home Comforts: Painted Pottery with Claire Wilson
Couldn't load pickup availability
Saturday, September 12, 11:00am - 12:30pm PT
This is an online workshop held via Zoom.
Home is my sanctuary, I have always been inspired by interior design, and love to cozy up with home magazines to escape into other worlds and spaces. Last year I started taking ceramic classes and have always been inspired by the colours and patinas of vintage pottery. Watercolor is the perfect medium to illustrate the fluidity and texture of ceramic surface patterns and glazes.
In this session we’ll be observing vintage ceramics and creating studies using watercolor to depict surface, texture, and glaze details. Hygge is about taking time away from the daily rush to be together with people you care about - or even by yourself - to relax and enjoy life's quieter pleasures, so let's pick up a brush and create some painted home comforts.
Join Zoom 15 minutes early for an informal meet and greet with the instructor and class participants! Class will begin promptly at 5 minutes past the hour, so everyone has plenty of time to create!
