Have you ever wanted to transform a lump of clay into a beautiful work of art? Join us for a unique 2-hour workshop on Tile Relief Pottery, led by an experienced pottery artist at Ecoville Farm. In this immersive experience, surrounded by nature’s beauty, you’ll learn the fundamentals of creating stunning textured tiles that can be used to adorn walls, tabletops, or even transformed into functional pottery pieces.

What is Tile Relief Pottery?

Tile relief pottery is an art form where designs and patterns are raised or sunken into the clay surface, creating a three-dimensional effect. This technique allows you to add depth, texture, and visual interest to your pottery creations.

What to expect?

• Introduction to Clay:
  Get your hands dirty and learn about the wonderful properties of clay, its different types, and how to prepare it for sculpting.
• Unveiling Relief Techniques:
  Discover various methods for creating raised and sunken designs on your clay tile, including pinching, carving, and adding coils.
• Design Inspiration:
  Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Ecoville Farm. Take a walk through the scenic surroundings and gather inspiration for your tile designs from the textures, shapes, and patterns found in nature.

Bringing Your Vision to Life:
Guided by our experienced instructor, you’ll put your newfound skills into practice by creating your own unique tile relief masterpiece.

Finishing Touches (Optional)
Complimentary firing for your pieces will be done in a separate session on the last Saturday of the month due to kiln turnaround times. You can bring your dried pieces to be fired then.
