It will be a fun and inspiring afternoon in which you will learn some basic sculpting and decorating techniques and explore your creativity. And: the Lucky Potatoes will be yours to keep afterwards. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI'm looking forward to it!

Afterwards, I will glaze- and fire your pieces, and you will receive them by mail.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat are Lucky Potatoes?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLucky potatoes are small, handmade sculptures, made to bring luck and cheer to whoever owns them. They often carry cheerful patterns,\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e and are great pieces to gift to a loved one (or to keep to yourself:)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSetup\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI will start the workshop with an introduction on sculpting Lucky Potatoes and painting with clay slip. I will also share some techniques on how I paint some of my favorite pattern designs, and I will share lots of inspiration and examples to help you get started.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter this, we will start sculpting Lucky Potatoes. Depending on your ideas and the designs you will give them, you will be able to sculpt 3 to 5 pieces. You will also have the opportunity to add a flower hole to some (or all) of them if you like, so that they become small vases. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter this, we will start painting the Lucky Potatoes. I love color, and I will make sure there will be lots of different colors to choose from! The patterns I paint on my work can be diverse, ranging from polka dots to botanical details. Whichever design you will choose to paint, I will be there to assist and guide you through it, when needed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eImportant note: my Lucky Potatoes usually carry gold luster details on them, but due to technical reasons we won't be working with gold luster in the workshop. You will be making lucky potatoes with colored clay slip only. In case you would like one (or more) of your lucky potatoes to have gold details on them, I can apply this for you afterwards. This will cost an additional 7 euros for each Lucky Potato. Note that it may take a bit longer before you receive your lucky potatoes by mail, as they will need one extra firing session. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn short\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 15th, 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTime:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.00am - 14.00pm (3 hours)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocation:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Pottery Parade studio at Europalaan 2 in Utrecht.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax amount of students:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice:\u003c\/strong\u003e €110 (all materials, coffee, tea, some small snacks and a set of your own Lucky Potatoes included)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant to know\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- As you will be working with clay and clay slip, make sure to wear something that can get dirty.
