  • Description

Add a touch of luxury to your ceramics at Slip Studio in White Plains. Join us for our specialized Gold Luster & Overglaze Workshop, a refined decorative session where you will learn to apply precious metallic finishes—including 24k gold and silver luster decals—to your pottery.

 

This workshop is perfect for students or makers who have glazed pieces ready for that "extra something." Lusters are applied to already fired, glazed ceramics to create a stunning, reflective metallic finish that completely redefines the piece.

 

The Luster Experience:

  • Precious Metal Application: Learn the precision required to apply gold, silver, and overglaze decals for a professional, high-end look.

  • Design Planning: Ariella will guide you through balancing shimmer and bold metallic accents to complement your ceramic forms.

  • The Third Firing: Understand the unique low-fire kiln process required to fuse precious metals to the glaze surface.

  • Precision Tools: Use fine brushes and specialized luster mediums provided by the studio for clean edges and intentional shine.

Workshop Highlights:

  • Bring Your Own Work: Participants should bring 2–3 pre-glazed pieces (no larger than 8 inches) ready for luster application.

  • All Materials Included: We provide the 24k gold, silver, decals, fine brushes, and safety gear.

  • Mindful Focus: Enjoy a calm, clean workspace designed for the slow, intentional strokes luster requires.

Your finished work will undergo a special third firing and be ready for pickup within two weeks. Tea, coffee, and sparkling water provided

 

Studio Logistics & Policies

  • Space is Limited: Our studio is intimate; workshops are capped at 12 guests unless otherwise specified.

  • Arrival: Please arrive on time. To ensure everyone completes their project, guests arriving more than 30 minutes late may be unable to finish. Ariella will do her best to accommodate and assist with repairs to ensure your work survives the kiln.

  • Dress Code: Please come dressed to get your hands (and potentially your clothes) a little dirty!

  • Amenities: Parking is free and plentiful. Clean restrooms are located just across the hall.

Cancellations & Refunds

  • Policy: A 50% refund is available with written cancellation up to 1 week before the workshop. Cancellations made less than 1 week prior are non-refundable.

  • Rescheduling: Rescheduling due to illness is permitted once.

A Note on the Magic of Ceramics

  • PLEASE NOTE: There are no guarantees in pottery! While working in clay is meditative and gratifying, it is also beautifully unpredictable. Clay moves, shifts, and sometimes cracks as it dries or during the firing process—even for the most experienced potters. This is the "magic" of ceramics: learning to let go, accepting that we aren't always in control, and finding beauty in the process.
  • We invite you to enjoy the experience as the most important part of your visit; the final product is simply the icing on the cake!
