The Master Makers Workshop

'To be an artist is to believe in life'.

Henry Moore

Take your first step into a world of colour with glaze.

This is the third step in your maker's journey, we will use the steps you have learned so far to create a piece connected to our own genius. Introducing you to the art of colour paint and journeying into the vast world of glaze. In this two day workshop we will take a journey of self expression delving into your artistic flair while working with clay and colour.

In this masters workshop you will use your new learned techniques by Mairead to create a clay pot from start to finish. This is a unique opportunity that will allow you to reach further into your creative side, having touched on self expression, you will apply this to your work to create something with meaning and depth.

This is an important step for all artists because what is art without meaning? But most importantly, what does your art mean to you? Come learn with the Master Makers Workshop.

Schedule:

Day 1
