Explore Art Deco design and Canberra’s identity as a city of design with Canberra artist Sarit Cohen. Inspired by Modernism and the theme of dissent, this hands-on workshop invites you to experiment with colour, pattern and composition to create a ceramic piece that reflects your own perspective on place.
You will begin with a brief introduction to Art Deco design, exploring its bold geometric forms and distinctive visual language. You will then create your own decorative composition by applying underglaze decals to a bisque-fired ceramic cup. Choose from a selection of provided geometric decal designs or incorporate your own patterns as you develop a unique response to Canberra’s design identity.
Sarit will guide you through each stage of the process, demonstrating techniques for applying decals and finishing your work with a clear glaze. Your completed cup will be fired at Sarit’s studio and returned to you approximately one week after the workshop.
WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING
Explore Art Deco design and geometric pattern-making, decorate a ceramic cup with underglaze decals, and apply clear glaze to finish your handmade piece.
