New to pottery painting—or ready to make your projects look more polished? Join us for a beginner-friendly workshop covering the essential techniques you can use on almost any pottery piece.
We’ll demonstrate how to choose a coordinated color palette, load and control your brush, apply smooth and even coats, create clean edges, and add simple decorative details. You’ll also learn how pottery paints change during firing and how to avoid common issues such as streaky coverage, overly thick paint, and colors blending together unintentionally.
