On the occasion of the inauguration of the new ceramic workshop, we propose a ceramic painting activity where you will learn the dry brush technique.

The potters will demonstrate their creations. They will explain you how the lathe works and how a ceramic piece is created. Afterwards, you can choose a piece ready to paint and decorate using the dry brush technique. This technique allows to combine different colors and layers to create several textures as a relief.

The pieces will measure between 12 and 15 cm and you can take it home with you the same day.

Hot enamel is a technique used in jewellery to give colour and texture to rings, pendants, bracelets and all kinds of metal accessories made from gold, silver and copper.

It is glass powder that is placed on metal, combining different colours, recreating drawings, creating shapes, etc. When the design is ready, the piece is baked through a cooking process (that varies depending on the metal type, the glazes and the size of the piece,) to melt and stick to the piece that is vitrifying.

You should have an idea about what design to make on a square copper base. You can combine different glazes and even draw. Afterwards, the pieces will be baked for 5 minutes and left it to cool. Finally, you will polish them, and you will pass the thread as a pendant... and then it is ready!
