About this Event
There's a quiet magic to porcelain painting — the way a fine brush stroke blooms into something intricate and lasting. Led by experienced porcelain painting artists, you'll learn foundational porcelain painting techniques and complete your own hand-painted porcelain piece from start to finish. Reference artworks will be provided to help guide your design.
By the end of the session, your finished piece will be packed away for kiln firing — resulting in a durable, glossy, and long-lasting finish — and ready for pick-up in a week. Pick-up details will be shared during the workshop.
