Outside workshop.

Enhance your ceramics with beautiful gold luster.

In this workshop, we will go over how to apply gold luster and gold decals.

Students must bring: 4 to 8 pots already glaze fired; glossy glazes work best for a shiny gold look; matte glazed work will give a matte gold effect with the lusters.

Please bring a respirator mask that blocks out fumes. We will be working outside.

Also, bring an apron or an old towel to protect your clothes. We sell sturdy aprons at Falmouth Art Center for $28 if you need to purchase one.

Instructor Bio

Patrice Mogan got her Bachelors in Fine Arts at Green Mountain College in Vermont. During a summer abroad, she lived in Aberystwyth, Wales, where she did her collage internship at the Ceredigion Museum. Her internship included restoration of cultural artifacts, cataloging, and assisting with setting up exhibits at multiple museums in Wales and England. A few years after college, Patrice briefly lived in Eureka, CA. While there she worked for HCAR as the Lead Art teacher in their fine arts program for people with developmental disabilities. Patrice found herself back on Cape Cod and taking ceramic classes at the Harry Holl Studio at the Cape Cod Museum of Art. After a year of classes and helping in the studio, her teacher recommended her for an apprenticeship at Scargo Pottery–the Studio and Gallery that was established in 1952 by renowned potter Harry Holl. After eight years of apprenticeship, she is now the studio manager. As manager, her role includes mixing glazes, ordering supplies, unloading kilns, reclaiming and recycling clay, and above all else helping and educating the many customers who visit daily. Patrice enjoys making and selling functional pottery, wall tiles, and whimsical sculptures. Born and raised on Cape Cod, she is inspired by her environment and the beauty that surrounds her.
