You do not need to have any previous experience . . Julie will explain it all - very clearly.
There will be another one for the Mothers Day weekend in MAY

specializes in fine polished porcelain with pierced or translucent decoration using bowl and sculptural forms.
Her porcelain work has become an expression of her femininity because of the strong linkage with traditional female textile crafts.
She started using translucent porcelain to express the fragility of the natural environment due to human impact.

The piercing resulted from looking at electron microscope illustrations of the lacy structures within nature.
The workshop was over two days and covered a HUGe variety of techniques . . . . explained clearly and concisely.
Throughout the weekend, I felt there was a genuine sharing of ample knowledge. We started with mould making, pouring, and creating our forms to pierce and decorate.
