Ceramics Workshop – Adrian Bates 

Porcelain Tealights and Lanterns
One-day workshop with Adrian Bates at The Clay Loft, Gydynap Lane, Stroud GL5 5EZ
We’ll spend the day making porcelain tealights and Adrian will take you through the whole process (no previous experience is necessary, though if you have some you’ll be well placed to develop your ideas). Porcelain has the wonderful ability to reproduce surface detail and, once high-fired is translucent. We’ll be exploring and exploiting this and experimenting with shape, texture and pattern. There will be the opportunity to make several of these and may well have time to explore other forms as well. Work will be fired on site and available to collect the following week (postage can be arranged at cost if required).

This workshop is held at the Clayloft, so please book through that site.
