Looking for an unusual gift or just want to try something different? Come and make your own cake stand, perfect for the Christmas table!The Workshop
In this workshop you will make your own beautiful ceramic cake stand from scratch and decorate it as you choose . The workshop is suitable for complete beginners or those who've worked with clay before. 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!
Using stoneware clay, you will learn to hand build the cake stand using slabs of clay and can draw your decoration or choose from a selection of stamps to create your own unique patterns. You will also be able to pick one of seven glazes to have your piece finished in, there’s something to suit every style.
Tuition will be provided by two experienced ceramicists Amy and Sue, 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 creation will be carefully transported back to the studio where it will be fired and glazed. The finished piece will be wrapped and ready for collection about 3 weeks later, ready to take pride of place on your table . The piece will be dishwasher, microwave and oven safe.
