Course layout

Day 1 -- Inspiration & Sketch
Theme: Bird life on Öland and the details of the plumage

We begin with an introduction and inspiration from Öland's rich bird life - shapes, colour variations and feather patterns.

During the day we work with:

• Current studies and photo materials

• Sketching exercises

• Watercolor painting

• Review of techniques and color building

The focus is on seeing, simplifying and finding a personal expression.

Day 2 -- Ceramic Painting
Theme: Transferring patterns to ceramics

Now we turn the sketches into ceramic decor.

You get:

• Plan your motive

• Work with ceramic paints and glazes

• Paint your unique feather pattern on a saucer or other ceramic shape

We go through technique, brushwork and how color changes in firing.

After the course, the items are glazed and burned in our workshop and sent home to you within about two to three weeks.
