In this intimate workshop, you'll discover the timeless art of blue and white porcelain painting, learning three classic Chinese techniques to create your own decorated earthenware plate. You'll master traditional methods including Fengshui - shading, Pingtu - flat painting, and Gouxian -outlining, taking home a unique piece that showcases your newfound skills.
For those who might feel daunted by this ancient art form, rest assured that this activity is specifically designed for beginners. With only four participants per class, you'll receive plenty of personal guidance as you explore each technique at a comfortable pace.
What you'll learn:
  • Fengshui-shading techniques for creating depth and dimension
  • Pingtu-flat painting methods for solid areas of colour
  • Gouxian-outlining skills for precise decoration
  • Traditional composition principles
Throughout the session, you'll work on a generous 24cm earthenware plate, learning how to apply these time-honoured decorative methods. Your instructor will guide you through each distinctive technique: the subtle gradations of Fengshui-shading, the smooth application of Pingtu-flat painting, and the precise art of Gouxian-outlining.
This focused workshop will connect you with centuries of artistic tradition, while helping you develop your own creative expression. You'll leave with not only your finished plate but also an appreciation for the refined techniques that have made blue and white porcelain so cherished throughout history.
What you'll get
All necessary tools and materials, as well as firing and glazing One plate. When booked with ClassBento, it also includes shipping your plate to your address once they are fired.
Knowledge required
Beginner-friendly.
What to bring
Working with the blue pigments can be very messy. You won’t want to wear your best dresses/suits! Please bring an apron or come in clothes and footwear you don't mind getting dirty.

I was born and raised in Guangdong, China. I found my passion in art during my youth and started practising pottery making in London since 2011.
After watching the first series of The Great Pottery Throw Down TV show, I was inspired to become a craft potter, and I participated in the second series of the show, where I finished as a finalist.
My works are largely influenced by traditional Chinese and Japanese culture, inspired by the interaction of nature and human to promote flow of energy and harmony. My recent works are mostly functional items with a combination of wheel throwing and hand building techniques. I am particularly interested in alternative firing methods such as Raku and pit-firing. I regularly exhibit and sell my works in various conventions nationwide.
