A contemporary take on a Dutch classic: traditional cobalt brushwork meets the dripping technique we developed for MOCA. Join us (Carla & Jordan) in our studio for a hands-on session. We launched this workshop during Dutch Design Week 2026, where more than 100 people signed up and painted their own plates!

At MOCA Tableware, we produce white porcelain in-house, combining industrial and handmade processes. One of our signatures is a self-developed dripping technique: cobalt-coloured glaze poured over the piece by a machine we built ourselves, leaving patterns no one can fully predict. During this workshop, we open up that process and put it in your hands.
You’ll decorate your own MOCA porcelain piece in cobalt blue, using the traditional Delft Blue method and/or our dripping technique. There’s no single right result; the point is to find your own interpretation of the blue through the tools and gestures we guide you through. No ceramic experience is needed.
Your ticket usually covers one 19cm porcelain plate to decorate (depending on the workshop).
Want to make more during the session? Additional MOCA pieces are available to buy and decorate on the day, with glazing and firing included.
Doors open 30 minutes before start with coffee, tea, and a short introduction to our studio, our practice, and Delft Blue as the starting point of the workshop. From there, you’ll have around 2.5 hours to work on your piece. We demonstrate each technique before you try it, and we’re there throughout for questions and feedback. We close around the table, looking at everyone’s pieces together.
We glaze and fire your piece in our studio. It’s ready one to two weeks later: collect it at the studio, or arrange a paid shipment to you. Once fired, your plate is food-safe and dishwasher-safe. You’re also welcome to browse the full MOCA Tableware collection during your visit.
The workshop is run by Carla Joachim and Jordan Morineau, the two designers behind Studio Joachim-Morineau and MOCA Tableware, working together since graduating from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2018. Discover our work here.
