Handcrafted Stoneware Salt & Pepper Shakers with Caddy Workshop

Join us for a delightful day of pottery and creativity at our Handcrafted Stoneware Salt & Pepper Shakers with Caddy Workshop. This event is perfect for anyone who loves to add a personal touch to their dining table or is looking for a unique, handmade gift. This is a 2 part class. Your first class will focus on hand crafting your project. You will return in approximately 2 weeks during any of our regular walk-in hours to glaze your piece. Class is appropriate for ages 13+

Event Highlights:

Introduction to Stoneware: Begin with an introduction to stoneware clay - its properties and the endless possibilities it offers for creating durable and aesthetically pleasing kitchenware.

Designing Your Set: Learn how to design a cohesive set of salt and pepper shakers along with a matching caddy using our templates. We'll cover design elements like shape, size, and functionality to ensure your set is not only beautiful but also practical.

Hand-Building Techniques: Our expert instructors will guide you through the hand-building process. You'll learn various techniques like pinching, coiling, and slab construction to shape your salt and pepper shakers and caddy.

Surface Decoration and Texturing: Explore different ways to decorate your set. This includes adding textures, carving designs, or experimenting with our unique clay stamps.

Glazing and Firing: Choose from our range of glazes to give your set the perfect finish. After glazing, your creations will be fired in a kiln, making them food-safe and durable.

Take Home Your Masterpiece: Once your set is fired and ready, you can take it home to add a personal touch to your dining experience or give it as a unique, handcrafted gift.

This workshop is a fantastic opportunity to get hands-on with clay, learn new skills, and create something both beautiful and functional. Whether you're a seasoned potter or a complete beginner, our instructors will ensure you have all the support you need to create a stunning salt and pepper shaker set with a caddy.
