Join local Walyalup (Fremantle) ceramicist Sally Smith from Deep Earth Ceramics and learn all about the fun and meditative craft of slab building to create your own functional Pet Bowl. With dark stoneware clay you'll learn to assemble your piece from a starting slab. Sally will also guide you through any tweaks so you can customise the design of your piece, incorporating your pet's personality and preferences. This could be decorative elements that represent your special friend, engraving their name or a meaningful message using clay carving tools. Pets offer us unwavering companionship. They're there for us through thick and thin, providing comfort and joy. A personalised, handcrafted ceramic pet bowl not only serves a practical purpose but also symbolises the bond and love we share with our furry companions. It's a meaningful keepsake that your pet will cherish for years to come.
All tools, materials and light morning tea will be provided. There are no previous skills required, simply bring your authentic self. Participants are welcome to bring along their own aprons or borrow one of ours.
Takeaway
-Time in our warehouse with an incredible local artist
-A personalised, handcrafted ceramic pet bowl to show your love and appreciation to your 'furry' friend
-Tea and cake from our cafe to enjoy while you are crafting
-The skills to continue at home
Important details
Your piece will be glazed and fired at Sally's studio. Cost included in your ticket. A huge amount of care is exercised when finishing off your precious hand-made items. Please note that clay is unpredictable and on rare occasions, items break in the kiln. This is all a natural part of the fun of perfecting your craft.
Works will be available within ~ 5-6 weeks of the class date for pick up from the Stackwood store. You will be contacted when they are ready to pick up.
Please note: We can hold your artworks for a period of 4 months from the date of your workshop. After this time, any unclaimed pieces will unfortunately be discarded.
We kindly ask that you collect your artwork promptly!
