Painting Tiles with Underglaze (12+)

Painting Tiles with Underglaze (Ages 12+)

April 17th 5:30-7:30pm

Explore color, pattern, and illustration through underglaze painting on ceramic tiles. In this class, students will paint designs on both bisque-fired and greenware tiles, learning how each surface responds differently to underglaze.

Participants will be introduced to basic underglaze techniques including layering, line work, blending, and sgraffito. The class will also cover how designs change through firing and glazing. This course is perfect for beginners as well as experienced artists looking to explore surface decoration in clay.

FAVA will fire your work and it should be ready for pick up in about a month. Reminders will be emailed out as we get closer to the class, please keep an eye on your email for more information.

scholarships & aid

FAVA reviews and considers all application for scholarship assistance. While we may not be able to provide a complete scholarship to all those who request it, we are committed to making our classes available to as many people as possible – regardless of individual financial circumstances. For this reason, it is important that all scholarship requests are received well in advance of the class starting date, so we may allocate our available funds accordingly. We may consider any of the following factors when determining eligibility for scholarships:

  • Annual family income
  • Individual or special circumstances
  • Whether the applicant qualifies for the National Free/Reduced Price School Lunch program
    (for students age 18 & younger)


**FAVA also encourages applicants to consider partial scholarship assistance, in which case the student only pays some portion of the class tuition.

All information will be kept confidential and will be used solely to determine the amount of scholarship assistance to be provided.
