Floral Vase Surface Decoration WorkshopCreating in Clay & Surface Decoration
In this hands-on workshop with Melissa, you’ll be invited to slow down and focus on the joy of surface decoration, working directly onto a pre-made ceramic vase.
Each attendee will be provided with a leather-hard vase (approximately 15cm high), ready for you to decorate using a range of clay techniques. This allows you to concentrate fully on design, texture, and storytelling through clay, without the pressure of building the form from scratch.
You’ll be guided step-by-step through decorative methods such as:
Applying clay sprigs and raised elements
Carving and incising botanical patterns
Creating simple floral and nature-inspired motifs
Adding touches of colour to accentuate design
Exploring rhythm, repetition, and balance in surface design
This workshop is perfect for beginners through to more experienced makers who want to explore surface work in a relaxed, supportive environment. No prior experience is needed - just curiosity and a love of handmade objects.
Once complete, your vase will be carefully dried, fired, and glazed by the studio in a complementary finish. Finished pieces will be ready for collection a few weeks after the workshop.
✨ This workshop is ideal for:
• Those curious about ceramic surface decoration
• Garden and nature lovers
• Anyone wanting a gentle, creative afternoon
• People who enjoy slow, mindful making
All materials, tools, firings, and glazing are included.
Come and create a one-of-a-kind vase, decorated by hand and made to be treasured.
