In this two-part workshop, participants explore the Renaissance glaze-painting technique of Maiolica. Working on tiles, participants develop their own approach to pictorial storytelling and personal mythology using colour, composition and illustrative imagery. The artist will present historical and contemporary approaches to this varied technique as well as discussions on its modern relevance. Each workshop participant will complete several tiles to be fired and completed by the conclusion of the workshop.
