About the workshop

In this session, you’ll be given a 6-inch tall terracotta or stoneware vase to paint using acrylic colours. We begin with a brief orientation to the space and materials.

After that, the session is completely self-guided. There is no instructor-led teaching — you’re free to paint in your own style, at your own pace.

This session is designed as a calm, creative activity where you can experiment with colours, patterns, and ideas without pressure.

What You’ll Make

You’ll paint and finish one ceramic vase during the session.

Once completed, the vase can be taken home the same day and used as a decorative piece.

The paint used is acrylic and suitable for décor purposes.
