Plantal Motifs with Underglaze Painting

Pera Adult

  • July 19, 2024 / 19:00

Participants take a guided tour of PƎRⱯ Reverse and are inspired by the installation guzmania2103 in the Globals section of the exhibition, which uses the guzmania plant as a symbol of local-global dichotomies. The participants reinterpret the plant forms that they often encounter in everyday life in the city with a different eye and transfer their drawings onto biscuit ceramic plates. The transferred drawings are glazed after the application of ceramic decoration techniques.

Note: Participants can pick up their ceramics, which will be sent for firing, from the museum within the time and date intervals to be shared with them.

Instructor: Damla Yeşiloğlu
Capacity: 10 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 300 TL

The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).
