BEGINNER FRIENDLY! PERFECT FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER TOUCHED CLAY BEFORE
This is a relaxed, hands-on experience where you’ll leave with something unique and entirely your own. All materials provided. Small class size (8 students) and patient instructors.
In this hands-on clay class, you’ll create your own functional mortar and pestle from start to finish. Learn handbuilding techniques to shape a sturdy bowl and a well-balanced pestle designed for everyday use. We’ll focus on texture and form to enhance grip and grinding performance while giving your piece a beautiful, handmade feel. You’ll finish by choosing a glaze that complements your kitchen style. Perfect for beginners and experienced makers alike, this class blends creativity with practical craftsmanship.
In this workshop you will learn how to:
~ Pinch a bowl and form around a mould
~ Attach a base using scratch and slip
~ Create a pestle
~ Finish surfaces to minimize sharp areas
~ Decorate with glaze
GLAZING: After your workshop, return for a glazing session (included). Your finished piece will be ready in 2–3 weeks.
