FAQs:
What is a peacock glazing bowl workshop?
The peacock glazing bowl workshop is a hands-on creative experience where participants will learn how to glaze bowls using techniques inspired by the vibrant colours and patterns of peacock feathers. You'll have the opportunity to create your own unique piece of art!
Do I need any prior experience?
No prior experience is necessary! Our workshop is designed for all skill levels, from complete beginners to those with some crafting experience. Our instructors will provide guidance throughout the process.
What materials will be provided?
All materials will be provided, including:
  • Pre-made ceramic bowls ready for glazing
  • A variety of glazes in different colours
  • Brushes and tools for applying the glaze
How long is the workshop?
The workshop typically lasts around 1 hour 30 mins, during which you will learn about glazing techniques and have time to glaze your bowl.
What should I wear?
We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting a little messy.
Will my bowl be fired after glazing?
Yes! After the workshop, all bowls will be collected and fired in a kiln to set the glaze. You will receive your finished piece in approx 4 weeks, once it has been completed. We contact you via email with collection information once your pottery is ready to collect.
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ: Peacock bowls take approximately 4 weeks to fire - these are estimates only and may take longer. You'll be emailed when ready with self-collection details. Items must be collected within 30 days or will be disposed of. Due to the nature of high-temperature firing, perfect results cannot be guaranteed and we don't provide refunds for firing outcomes, though we always try to help resolve issues where possible.
