🧈✨ Ceramics & Clay Modelling Workshop: Butter Dish
In this workshop you’ll turn a simple block of clay into a functional ceramic butter dish with a lid – a small everyday object that becomes a unique piece on your table. In a relaxed studio setting, with step‑by‑step guidance, you’ll experience the full journey from raw clay to finished, usable pottery.
👐 What you will do
learn basic hand‑building techniques using slabs and simple joins
shape the base and matching lid, adjusting them so they fit together nicely
add textures and decorations (imprints, carved lines, patterns) to make the piece your own
prepare it for drying, bisque firing and glazing in chosen colours
After the class, your butter dish is dried, fired and glazed, and you later pick it up as a durable, food‑safe piece.

and often a drink to help you relax during the session
