Painted Plates
June 16, 2024
11am-1pm
with Sara Sremac of Screamie Weemie
CLAY AS CANVAS! The decorative capacity of the clay surface has no end. Get inspired to paint the flowers blooming in the field and the many animals on the farm. In this 2 hour workshop co-hosted by artist Sara Sremac of Screamie Weemie, participants will use underglazes and stains to paint colorful patterns, scenes and decorative motifs on bisque-fired ceramic plates. Painting with underglazes on bisqued ceramic is unique, and the feel of it is unlike that of acrylic, oil or watercolor. The results of this process will be unexpected! Each participant will have the option to paint two plates- one of which can be finished and fired in the kiln for pick-up the following week, and the second donated to the farm for use at Coyote Cafe. Previous experience with ceramics or painting is helpful but definitely not necessary! Curiosity is required! Ages 12+
