BEGINNER FRIENDLY! PERFECT FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER TOUCHED CLAY BEFORE This is a relaxed, 2 hour 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. PART 1 - 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. With the trend towards more connection with the ingredients in your food, this is the perfect place to start. Home made spice blends are much more flavourful than from the store. Not a cook? Use it for grinding botanicals to make incense. You’ll finish by choosing a glaze that complements your 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 PART 2 - GLAZING: After your workshop, return for a glazing session (included). Your finished piece will be ready in 2–3 weeks.
