Clay Plate Painting Program

The Clay Plate Painting workshop offers clients a detailed, hands-on experience in creating unique clay plate artworks. This event focuses on learning and practicing traditional plate painting techniques inspired by the coastal culture and fishing heritage of Negombo, Sri Lanka. Participants will receive guidance on painting techniques and locally inspired motifs, such as fishing boats, marine life, and waves. They can also relax and enjoy a 'sip and paint' moment with refreshments, making the experience both creative and enjoyable.

The workshop includes an introductory session on the historical significance of clay plate painting across cultures, followed by a two-hour painting session led by Sri Lankan professional artisans. At the end, each plate is sealed to preserve the painting. The experience concludes with a sharing circle where participants discuss their artwork, enhancing cultural appreciation and fostering community connections.
