In this workshop, participants will explore the patterns of Alhambra Palace through the work of designer Owen Jones. Participants will learn how to make a thin porcelain slab, press it onto a mould with a hexagonal grid inspired by Alhambra tilework, and cut out their own shape. The pieces will then be left to dry and fired.
Participants will explore more of Jones’ patterns and use them to decorate their fired porcelain pieces. Once painted, the pieces will be fired again. A later date will be set for collection, where pins or magnets will be added.
Language: English and Arabic
What will you learn?
Participants will create porcelain pieces inspired by Alhambra patterns, decorate them using Owen Jones’ designs, and turn them into brooches or magnets.
Who is it for?
This workshop is open to those interested in design, pattern-making, and hands-on ceramic work. No prior experience is required.
