Please join us for an intimate and hands-on ceramics painting class where you will learn how to paint with underglazes (ie the “paints” applied under the glaze). The class will take place at our award-winning studio Coconut Crab, designed by Alexander Symes Architects, in Dulwich Hill, Sydney. During the class, Araceli will share all the tricks and techniques she has mastered over the 14 years + she has been making and painting ceramics.
The class will focus on the Gloomy Octopus (Octopus tetricus), a speces that thrives in rocky intertidal shores and rock pools along the Australian coast. Solitary and nocturnal, it’s a vital predator, adept at camouflaging itself through intricate colour-changing abilities, seamlessly blending into its surroundings for efficient hunting.
This class was first taught as an art & natural history masterclass, with marine ecologist Iva Nikolaeva in attendance. To see photos of the masterclass and learn more about Iva’s work studying the ecology of intertidal rocky shores, click here.
Participants will be given one of Casa Adams signature medium platters bisqued, with the crab already monoprinted and ready to be painted. All materials, including tea/coffee and yummy biscuits from the local Greek patisserie are included. The platters will be glazed and fired in the studio and ready for collection approximately one week after. No previous experience needed!
Timings: 6pm to 9pm
Location: The studio address will be given to confirmed participants closer to the date
***If you’d like to paint the octopus on a dinner plate instead, there is an additional charge of $25. Just add this class to your cart and then add Dinner plate option for painting class to your cart as well.***
