Porcelain Painting Fundamentals
Discover the timeless art of hand-painted porcelain — and create a beautiful, kiln-fired piece that’s yours to keep or give.
Level: Beginner
Ages: 12 and up
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 be guided through the core building blocks of porcelain painting: brush control, color application, and design transfer. Over 3 hours, you’ll learn foundational porcelain painting techniques. You will also complete your own hand-painted porcelain piece from start to finish on a prepared project as pictured.
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.
