Porcelain Paper Clay Lanterns

Join ceramic artist, Rhi Jarman, to create your own festive lanterns using porcelain paper clay. In this workshop, you will hand build and decorate a lantern using a variety of mark making and textures. Rhi will demonstrate how thin to roll the porcelain paper clay to bring out its translucency once fired. You will cut and shape your design around a tube former and slip and score to add a base. Your lantern will remain unglazed to highlight the textures in the semi translucent porcelain, which will shine beautifully when candle lit. One lantern per student will be stoneware fired following the workshop. Students will experiment with texturising and mark making using porcelain paper clay to design and create a ceramic lantern. Skills outcomes include 3D design, hand building, mark making, texturising and fettling. The workshop is suitable for complete beginners, or for novice or intermediate potters to gain confidence with new materials and techniques. All materials and firings are included in the price.
