Please join us for an intimate and hands-on natural history and ceramics painting class where you will learn how to paint a Mandarinfish (Synchiropus splendidus) with underglazes (ie the “paints” applied under the glaze).
The Mandarinfish, also known as Mandarin Dragonet, is a small and brightly coloured fish found in the warmer waters of the Pacific, from Taiwan to Australia.
Mandarinfish are reef dwellers, preferring sheltered lagoons and inshore reefs. While they are slow-moving and fairly common within their range, they are not easily seen due to their bottom-feeding habit and their small size (reaching only about 6 cm). Their large pelvic fins are used for 'walking' on the seafloor. They feed primarily on small crustaceans and other invertebrates such as sea worms.
Participants will be given one of Casa Adams signature medium platters bisqued, with the species already monoprinted and ready to be painted. 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. 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 address will be given to confirmed participants closer to the date
***If you’d like to paint the mandarinfish on a dinner plate instead, making your own dinner set in the process, 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.***
