POLYCHROME DELFTWARE WORKSHOP with Matilda Moreton. Following on from our popular Delft tile and plate painting workshop, in which we only used cobalt blue, Matilda is now working with on-glaze painting using a range of colours for autumn. She will use the colours of Italian maiolica or early English polychrome delftware that were used in the late 1600s and early 1700s, before the more famous blue and white china was made in Delft. Cobalt oxide will be used to map out the design and then add highlights of underglaze colours in turquoise blue, yellow, ochre, brown and green - all colours typical of polychrome delftware.

WORKSHOP PLAN:
- Learn from a selection of historic pieces, books, photographs and colourful fragments of early delftware pottery from the Thames foreshore. Look at Italian maiolica and its influence on early Flemish and English “galliware” (later called Delftware)
- Sketch in pencil and then paint your ideas onto paper with watercolours. Experiment with different colour combinations and mark making and practice brush control.
- Paint your design
onto a tin-glazed plate.

You are very welcome to bring inspiration of your own along and you may find it helpful to consider what you wish to paint in preparation for the workshop.

All materials and firing costs are included and the work will be returned to you a week after the workshop.

The ceramic process is a demanding alchemy. We hope to achieve wonderful results but these cannot be taken for granted and nothing is certain until we open the kiln after the firing.
