Make a Porcelain Diorama!

Service Description

This one-time class will show you how to make your own diorama/shadowbox scene. These can be made as wall hangings or sit on their own. Using an array of precast objects in clay and a number of other possible surface and modeling techniques we can workshop, you get a precast wet clay box shape to worth with, or we will help you to make your own. VALUABLE SKILLS UNLOCKED: Rubber casting, sculpture, composition, underglaze painting, slipping/scoring clay, joinery, surface treatment We work with porcelain clay for a durable, high-fire piece that is fully functional and a great conversation piece you'll love making. This is a one-time session; our art coaches will fire a glaze your vessel with a clear glaze after you color it with underglaze ("paint"), if desired. (If other glazes are wanted rather than the clear dip, we recommend that you also sign up for our Glazing class separately.) Work is available for pick-up after adequate drying and firing time. Attendees will be notified when the pieces are ready.
