Sketch on Clay

This is a fun and creative workshop where participants will learn how to use line art, doodles, patterns, and simple illustrations to decorate pre-fired bisque ceramic pieces and turn them into one-of-a-kind works of art. In a relaxed and playful setting, participants will explore easy drawing techniques and design ideas they can apply to their own pieces — from abstract patterns and motifs to playful illustrations and personalised designs. With the freedom to create work that reflects their own creativity, participants will be guided through the whole process: planning the design, transferring it onto their chosen bisque piece, and adding details using ceramic-safe materials.

Why Choose This Workshop?
Whether participants are experienced artists or simply love to doodle, this workshop is designed for all skill levels — no prior ceramic experience required. It offers a welcoming, low-pressure way to combine the simple joy of drawing with the lasting appeal of ceramics, turning a plain bisque form into something personal and unique. With guidance at every step, participants gain both the confidence to make creative choices and a finished piece they can keep and treasure.

What Participants Will Learn?
Participants will learn how to approach a three-dimensional ceramic surface as a canvas for drawing, planning a design that suits the shape of their chosen piece. They will explore a range of mark-making techniques — line work, pattern, motif, and simple illustration — and learn how to transfer and build up their design using ceramic-safe materials. Along the way, they will pick up tips on composition and detailing, leaving with a finished, decorated piece and the confidence to keep drawing on ceramics in their own way.
