Workshop Details

November is the month for snacking with friends and enjoying the simple pleasures in life! In this workshop, create a multi-functional snack dish and spoon that will make you say "I can't believe I made this!"

Learn stoneware clay slab techniques to build your unique dish in the first visit. Book your second visit and return to the studio to add the glaze in the colours and designs of your choosing. This dish could become a favourite household item, handmade with care by you!

Workshop FAQs

Stoneware Clay 101

The most important thing to remember when working with clay is to relax and enjoy the process of making hand made art! Clay is like magical mud for creating fantastic pottery and cool ceramics. First, you shape it into whatever you want. Then it has to air dry and go into a super-hot oven called a kiln, where it gets fired at really high temperatures (around 1,200°C!). After it’s been fired once it’s ready for the colourful and clear glazes! Finally. it gets fired again to cure the glazes to the clay.
