A&S Class Cheerleading: Paint your own 15th c. Spanish Pottery!
When we did the pottery-painting sessions for the last Perfectly Period Feast, we had so much fun that I thought more people needed to share in the experience, so I volunteered to coordinate a "Paint Your Own (15th c. Spanish) Pottery class for A&S.
We'll be working with the gorgeous 6-lobed bowl style and there will be a brief lecture and presentation on the types of decorations used on bowls of this type and on other simple pottery of the same era. The decoration style we'll be emphasizing is a relatively simple, free-flowing -- sometimes even a bit abstract -- style in a limited range of colors. I guarantee that people of all levels of artistic ability will be able to reproduce or adapt at least some subset of the motifs in question.
All materials (pots, paints, brushes, etc. etc.) are included in the class fee, as is the post-painting firing and shipping back to you after the firing is done. This is professionally made pottery produced by Lodema the Potter who developed the lobed-bowl design based on research by Mistress Crystal and other members of the PPF team. The class fee is $25 per bowl with a discount of $5 for a second bowl shipped to the same address.
The pottery class is scheduled for Sunday morning at A&S in order to minimize conflict with all the other wonderful classes you'll want to enjoy! If not all the bowls are spoken for at A&S, I'll be reprising the class Sunday morning at June Crown (time TBD but I suspect it will be "whenever interested people find me").
Just imagine: you'll not only learn about Spanish pottery designs -- you'll end up with your own authentic reproduction bowl ... that you painted yourself!
Here are some examples of pre-fired bowls of the style we'll be doing from one of the PPF painting sessions. (The fired bowls have more brilliant colors.)
