Please join us for an intimate and hands-on natural history and ceramics painting class where you will learn how to paint a Rainbow Cale (Heteroscarus acroptilus) with underglazes (ie the “paints” applied under the glaze).
This masterclass is part of our series where a marine biologist/ecologist will be in attendance and for this session we will be welcoming local diver Hannah-Florence to our Coconut Crab studio.
Hannah-Florence has enjoyed the ocean all her life and is lucky enough to call Cabbage Tree Bay in Sydney her freediving playground. Here she dives with Grey Nurse Sharks, Turtles, Giant Cuttlefish and Big Happy Blue Gropers, however it’s the little fish that make the most impact, and the colours of the Rainbow Cale are always a rare and lucky sight.
The Rainbow Cale is perhaps one of the most stunning and underrated fish in Sydney. This shy fish is usually hidden in the seaweed but on the rare occasion, you might find it displaying its bright and beautiful colours in hopes of attracting a female.
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: 9am to 12pm
Location: The studio address will be given to confirmed participants closer to the date.
***If you’d like to paint the species 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.***
