Paint your own coaster or tile with brush-on glaze

We will be patterning and painting ready-made kitchen and bathroom tiles, using brush-on-glaze, and finishing them as coasters or personalised items like name plates or house numbers for the home, using techniques of painting, scraffito, stencils, potato prints and different types of resist. You will be able to leave at least one finished tile or coaster to be fired and collected by you at a later date.

Materials and equipment will be provided. Still, to get the most out of the workshop, you are invited to bring the following (most important items first, least important last):

• apron
• a few artist’s or children’s paintbrushes
• pen, pencil and paper or notebook
• a paint box if you have one – could be a children’s paint set or artist’s watercolour paint box
• old towel, floorcloth or dishrag (cotton, not J-cloth)

Suitable for all levels and abilities. £15pp includes nude model, some art materials, tea, coffee, and biscuits! Contact Michelle on 07812068489 or michelleranson@hotmail.co.uk.
