Plate On The Wheel 13+

Create your own handmade ceramic plate from clay using simple and satisfying handbuilding techniques.

In this guided workshop, you’ll shape and design a plate using slab-building methods, making it accessible for beginners while still allowing room for creativity and personal style. From forming the base to adding texture, details, and finishing touches, each step is guided in a calm and supportive environment.

After your piece is fired, you’ll return for a second session to glaze and complete your plate with your own color choices.

The result is a functional, food-safe ceramic plate that reflects your creativity and can be used and enjoyed every day.
