Surface Design - Underglaze Techniques About the Course Explore surface design and learn the potential of underglazes during this new exciting workshop! Spend a half a day guided by the artist Mandy Geoghegan in our beautiful new studio and immerse yourself in the creative process.  Over the duration of this workshop you will cover brushstroke techniques and application and learn how to layer on colour with patterns to create your own unique design. You will learn simple illustration tips to bring your own ideas to life, or use our pre-made templates made by the teacher. This class is perfect for anyone interested in applying surface decoration to ceramic pieces. Each participant will get 3 tiles to decorate. They will be fired after the class and available for collection from our studio a few weeks after the class.  Underglaze definition: Underglazes are different forms of decoration, usually fluid that are added to pots before glazing.  If you would like to give this course as a gift please look at our Gift Cards options here.
