Description

Let’s roll up our sleeves and turn flat into fabulous!

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll dive into the world of ceramic tile-making and discover how to transform simple clay into bold, textured, 3D masterpieces.


🧑‍🎨 What’s Waiting for You?

Over 3 hours packed with creativity, you’ll:

  • Break the Rules of “Flat”
    What is a tile anyway? You’ll find out – and rethink everything you thought a tile could be.
  • Shape, Press & Play
    Explore endless ways to add texture, depth, and dimension to your surface. Think patterns, stamps, and free-hand marks that make your piece yours.
  • Make it Pop with Colour
    Learn how to apply bold underglaze pigments with brushes, stencils, or freestyle painting – it’s all about the woweffect.
  • Experiment Without Fear
    No perfection needed here – just freedom to playexplore, and create something uniquely you.
  • Get Pro Tips from Our Ceramic Artist
    Our instructor’s got your back with hands-on support and insider tricks to help you succeed.

✨ Optional Glazing Upgrade

Want that matte or glossy finish? You can upgrade to add glazing after the workshop (pick-up arranged once they’re fired and ready to shine).

🎉 You’ll Leave With:

  • Your very own set of textured, 3D ceramic tiles.
  • solid set of skills to keep creating.
  • The confidence to continue your clay adventure.

✅ What’s Included:

  • All materials – clay, tools, colours, and the first firing.
  • Expert guidance in a fun and supportive atmosphere.

Who’s It For?

  • Total beginners or curious creatives looking to try something new.
  • Intermediate makers wanting to level up their texture and surface design.
  • Friends, families, or solo adventurers ready for a fun and hands-on experience.
