This lesson is held in the VIP room of the famous imperial porcelain factory. Here an experienced craftsman from the factory will help you to create a design and to paint one or maybe more items of porcelain. For example it could be

• a cup and saucer
• a plate
• a jam dish

The idea for the design could be yours or one suggested by the craftsman.

If you are interested in a specific theme - for example Russian revolutionary Avant-garde porcelain or Russian folk patterns - by prior arrangement the master will be ready to work on designing something on this theme with you.

All necessary materials are provided by the factory and the master-class lasts for about 1½ hours

NB. It takes 2-3 days to fire your item in the factory stoves which means you may have left St. Petersburg before it is ready. But in this event I will be happy to send it by FedEx to your address anywhere in the world. (The cost of the parcel by FedEx from St.Petersburg to Europe or USA is about 90USD. )

The Painting porcelain master class at St.Petersburg imperial porcelain factory costs 250USD for two people. Please email for prices for other group sizes.
