In December, we invite you to get into the festive mood and visit the creative porcelain workshop "Christmas ornament" of the Riga Porcelain Museum.
Snowflakes, holiday table lace or holiday tree ornaments. Being together and working together creates a festive feeling.
In December, the Riga Porcelain Museum invites you to indulge yourself in creativity dedicated to the holidays - to make porcelain decors from different colors of liquid porcelain clay: white, soft blue or pink, or to create them by pouring the clay into specially prepared ornamental shapes. Porcelain snowflakes, candles, fir trees, snowmen and other figures, blanks for earrings, pendants, brooches or sets of Christmas tree decorations - let your imagination run wild, creating your own unique holiday souvenirs for giving or decorating!
With a pre-prepared tubes filled with castable porcelain clay, we will draw fine patterns on the plaster base, which after drying and firing at 1250 °C, will turn into beautiful, fragile porcelain ornaments. Or, if you choose, we will pour them in templates prepared by museum artists. Museum teachers will help you realize your idea and take care of the post-processing of the created object. The workshop is open to visitors of all ages, individually or in groups, and is accessible to people with special needs.
The workshop will be led by museum teachers Rasa Jansone and Astra Kaprāne.
The workshop is available from 1.-30. December from Tuesday to Saturday. Workshop participation fee 9.00 EUR. On December Fridays - December 2, 9, 16, 23, and 30 - participation in the workshop is free.
