About this event

Ceramic Plate Painting; 2 sessions.

Two-part workshop blending tradition, storytelling, and personal expression through ceramics.

🟠 Dates:

Thursday, April 17 – Design & Clay

Thursday, May 8 – Glazing & Techniques

For centuries plates have been for serving food and as a canvas for art and design.
They’ve been works of art, carrying stories of culture, craftsmanship, and tradition.
From the intricate blue-and-white patterns of Dutch Delftware to the bold, symbolic motifs of Moroccan ceramics.
Plates have reflected the creativity and identity of generations.

In this two-part workshop series, we dive into this timeless tradition and make it our own.

Together in a small group in a studio in the center of Amsterdam, you’ll explore plate decoration as a form of expression, healing, and storytelling.
Whether inspired by ancient techniques or your own imagination, you’ll create a piece that reflects your unique energy and voice.
