In four (4) Friday morning classes, Larry Charles — a nationally-recognized, exhibiting artist and expert instructor— will take you step-by-step through the process to hand-paint porcelain plates. Wow your guests at a dinner party or birthday lunch by serving dessert on custom hand-made plates.
Larry will provide tips on how to select a theme with separate images tailored to each guest. You can also design plates to give as gifts!
Charles believes that if you can draw a sketch or paint a picture, you will have all the skills necessary for this four-class workshop.
Best of all, you’ll take home a goodie bag full of hand-painted plates to use or gift!
