Overview
Date: Sunday, October 18 • 2-4:30pm
Location: Rooted 1010 N 12th Ave., Room 238
Workshop: 2.5 hours
Investment: $110 per person
This will be a smaller, more involved workshop with limited seating, giving us plenty of time to work through each step together.
Make a butter dish worthy of staying out on the counter.
Join us at Rooted for a hands-on pottery workshop where you’ll create your own covered ceramic butter dish from start to finish. Using slab-building techniques, we’ll hand build both the cloch-style cover and coordinating base, add a handle, refine the shape and fit, then decorate your finished pieces with underglaze.
No pottery experience needed. I’ll guide you through the process step-by-step.
Keep it simple, add stripes or a painted pattern, play with color, or come with a design already in mind. I’ll guide you through each step of this project along the way.
What you’ll make and learn
Build a covered ceramic butter dish with a coordinating base
Learn the basics of slab handbuilding
Shape, assemble, and refine your butter dish
Add a handle to your cloch
Decorate your pieces using colorful underglazes
What’s Included
Your ticket includes all clay, tools, materials, instruction, underglazes, clear glazing, and kiln firing.
After the Workshop
Your Butter Dish will stay with me to dry slowly before being fired in the kiln, finished with a clear glaze, and fired once more.
Finished pieces will be ready for pickup at Rooted approximately 3-5 weeks after the workshop. You’ll receive an email when yours is ready.
Once finished and fired, your pieces will be food safe, dishwasher safe, and microwave safe.
Ages
This workshop is open to ages 12 and up. Participating ages 12-17 must attend with a participating adult who has also purchased a workshop ticket.
Good to Know
You may want to wear something you don’t mind getting a little clay on. Clay washes easily out of most clothing but just in case!
Part of the beauty of pottery is its unpredictability. Variations, imperfections, and occasionally even cracks can happen during the drying and firing. It’s all part of working with clay, and something to embrace in the handmade process.
Workshop ticket sales are final and non-refundable.
