Turn bold lines and timeless symbols into handmade ceramic art in this one-day workshop inspired by the world of tattoo design. 

Using a variety of colored clays (not just white!), you'll learn to hand-build and decorate your own unique ceramic cup, dish, or small sculptural object. Drawing from classic tattoo imagery. Think anchors, florals, snakes, hearts, skulls, or your own custom flash – you’ll create a piece that’s as personal as inked skin, but in fired clay. 

We’ll cover basic techniques like slab-building and forming, then dive into the decorative process using our own self traced mono printing for a tattoo like, illustrated effect.  

All materials, including a selection of stained earthenware clays in various tones, are provided. Your finished piece(s) will be kiln fired twice, first for the bisque and then with a 1080 transparent crystal glaze for later pickup.

Meeting other people, working with clay and having a fun day the goal! Bringing in your own designs, ready to trace, will make it more special.
