Workshop Weekend July 9th and 10th

I had a fantasic workshop weekend at Debbie Bryan's studio and shop demonstrating brooch, tile and bead making. I wanted to share some of the lovely results with you.....

Tile, brooch and bead examples; porcelain under-glaze painted

These are examples of porcelain tiles that have texture pressed into the clay and under-glaze painted. 3D elements have also been added to give a sense of depth. Layers of colours have been added to highlight the textured ares.....

brooch making; added texture and 3D elements

And last but not least bead examples painted and decorated with underglazes and a vareity of surface techniques used....I love them and they would look great strung on a necklace....
