Textiles & Texture – Functional Vessels Inspired by Fabric

A Full-Day Master Workshop with Clare Unger
Saturday 7 March 2026 — 9:30am–5:00pm TBC

Join ceramic artist Clare Unger for a 7.5-hour master workshop exploring her signature approach to integrating surface and form through richly decorated clay slabs.

You’ll explore:
• Using textiles to emboss and imprint clay
• Designing and painting mono-print transfer images
• Creating your own embossing tile
• Surface design: washes, dry brushing, layering
• Rolling, cutting and assembling a decorated slab
• Hand-building a functional vessel
• Moisture control, joining techniques and refinement

What’s Included
• Clay and decorative materials
• Porcelain slip for mono-printing
• A selection of textiles (you’re welcome to bring your own)
• Firing + clear glaze of one main piece
• Tea, coffee and good vibes

Who’s it for?
Suitable for all levels. Outcomes will vary depending on experience.

Max 12 participants
