About this Event
Come along and make a trio of small serving dishes perfect for tapas, olives or other snacks. Our workshops are relaxed, informal and perfect for beginners or those who’ve worked with clay before. Workshops make brilliantly unusual gifts too!
Using stoneware clay, you will learn to hand build the dishes using slabs of clay and can draw your decoration or choose from a wide selection of stamps to create your own unique patterns. You will also be able to pick from seven glazes to have your pieces finished in.
Tuition will be provided by two experienced ceramicists and with small numbers on our workshops, you can have as much or as little guidance as you like! All materials and firing are included as well as use of equipment on the day.
After the workshop your creations will be carefully transported back to the studio where they will be fired and glazed. The finished pieces will be wrapped and ready for collection 3-4 weeks later from workshop venue.
Whether you've got bags of ideas and inspiration or not, don't worry, we'll provide any help you need to make something brilliant!
