Painting on ceramic workshop
with Kesem Yahav
In this 2.5-hour workshop, you’ll dive into the colorful world of painting on ceramics.
I love freehand painting on ceramics, especially when I let myself paint whatever comes to mind. It takes a steady hand, a calm body, easy breathing, and a quiet mind.
You can paint freely or plan and sketch first, either way, I’ll guide you and show you different ways to create.
During the workshop, you’ll paint one pre-fired ceramic plate. I’ll demonstrate a few simple painting techniques to help you get started and feel confident. The plates are bisque-fired — light, unpainted ceramics that are ready for decoration. We’ll use underglaze colors and ceramic pigments, perfect for adding beautiful details and personal touches.
You’ll have plenty of creative freedom to explore your own style, and I’ll provide a range of images, patterns, and ideas to inspire you.
Once you’ve finished your piece, I’ll glaze it with a clear glossy coat and fire it in my kiln. Your finished plate will be ready in about two weeks. If you prefer, I can arrange shipping (shipping costs are not included in the workshop fee).
What can you make?
One plate.
What’s included in the price?
The plate, the use of the Studio tools, transparent glaze, underglaze colors, firing to finish your object, and tea & cookies,
