Cobalt Blue Pottery Bird Tile Workshop

Create a timeless cobalt blue, quirky bird wall tile in relief.



2 hours 15 mins Class size 1 to 11 guests       £60 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

In this brand-new workshop, you’ll design and create a stunning cobalt blue hanging tile in relief — a truly eye-catching piece of art for your home.
Guided step by step in our calming studio, you’ll explore how to sculpt and layer clay leaves, delicate flowers, and a charming, quirky little bird carefully peeking out from its nest. Surrounded by flowing natural forms and beautiful flora, your design will come to life with depth, texture, and personality.
You’ll learn a variety of mark-making and texturing techniques to add richness and dimension to your tile. The entire session is dedicated to slow, mindful detailing — giving you plenty of time to refine and enjoy the creative process.
Once your piece has been bisque-fired, I will carefully apply the rich cobalt blue glaze for you, enhancing the raised details and creating that iconic combination of glossy and matte blue tones. The final result evokes the timeless elegance of old Dutch Delft pottery — a classic style that feels both historic and perfectly at home in any décor.
No experience is needed at all — beginners are warmly welcome. Just bring your curiosity and enjoy the joy of creating something truly special.
