Luster Workshop
- Description
Have you always wondered how some handmade ceramics are covered in gold?
In this workshop, you'll learn how to apply gold and silver water transfers to your finished pieces. This is a special third firing your pieces will undergo in the kiln. Bring up to 6 glazed pieces, ready to go. Any finished pieces fired to cone 5+ will work. You can also bring in already luster-painted pieces, but please note NO liquid luster will be applied in the studio! Your pieces will be loaded in the kiln and fired right away, ready for pick-up on March 16th. Luster pieces will NOT be microwave safe.

Our studio is small, and space is limited to a maximum of 12 guests (unless otherwise specified).
Parking is free and plentiful. Bathrooms are clean and across the hall. Please come dressed and ready to get your hands and maybe even your clothes a little dirty.
Please arrive on time so that we can start the project with enough time for completion. If guests arrive more than 30 minutes after the start time, they may be unable to finish their project. Ariella will do her best to accommodate for lateness and skill level, repairing work when she can to ensure the highest likelihood of survival through the kiln process.

PLEASE NOTE: There are NO guarantees in pottery!
While working in clay is calming, pottery comes with many unknowns. Pottery is unpredictable and sometimes unforgiving. While Ariella will do her best to walk you through each step of the process, sometimes cracks and issues present themselves along the way. Either in the soft and malleable stage, or as the piece dries and hardens, and even into the bisqueware stage, clay moves and shifts. Even the best potters cannot predict the outcome, so please keep this in mind! Working in clay is meditative and gratifying; however, it is also humbling, as there are many factors out of our control. This is the magic of ceramics- learning to let go and allowing for the process to guide you, and accepting that we are not always in control. This is the beauty of clay. So enjoy the workshop, class, or private event, and remember that the experience IS the best part of pottery! The final product is just the icing on the cake:).
