Our instructor takes you step by step through hand drawing your own wax design and glazing your tile.About this experience
2.5 Hour Experience: Glaze your own 6" ceramic tile trivet.
Studio C: 730 S. Stone Avenue, Tucson, Arizona
This instructor-led workshop is great for intermediate to advanced artists. Everyone is welcome, but we recommend some art experience as you'll be designing and sketching your own image on a tile. You are encouraged to bring your own sketch or design ideas to this workshop.
You will walk step by step through creating tile art using the cuerda seca "dry cord" style, where wax outlines create a barrier between glaze colors. In this workshop, you will bring your own design idea and draw it onto a tile using a wax resist, and then glaze the design in your choice of color palette. All materials are provided.
The instructor will kiln fire your tile after the workshop. It will be given a cork backing, and it will be available for pickup or shipping in one week after the workshop.
If you want to glaze more than one tile, additional tiles will be available for add-on purchase at the studio.
This workshop will cover wax drawing by hand, but it will not cover screen printing. Please note Carly Quinn is not the instructor for our workshops
Expect that your tile art may have natural blemishes, pull backs, and pinholes that occur during the kiln firing process; While we will provide guidance, it is a hands on workshop to experiment with this glazing style, and we cannot guarantee the final quality of your DIY art. No refunds are provided due to imperfections in your fired art.
