Explore the possibilities of ceramic as a body ornament while learning about clay pigmentation, marbling, ceramic handbuilding and basic jewellery techniques.

During this two-day workshop run by Iza Lozano, you will be guided to create pigmented ceramics earrings, necklaces, brooches, pendants, and more.

On the first day, participants will learn about the principles of clay pigmentation, marbling and handbuilding. On day two, the focus will be on basic jewellery techniques and making ceramic elements into wearable items.

Pieces will be fired twice and sanded in between classes, so participants can complete their jewellery pieces, and take home ready-to-wear items.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own jewellery findings (rope, silver wire, leather cord, etc.), as well as tools, and other objects for specific textures.

This two-day workshop is suitable for all levels of clay experience and will take place on Monday October 3 (10am to 5pm) and Friday October 7 (10am to 4pm).
