Information

Date:   Sunday 17th May 2026
Time:  10am - 3pm approx - please note they do take a long time to make if you want to decorate with underglazes etc.   We may finish earlier but I want to give you ample time to make your dream butter dish.   

In this workshop you will create your very own butter dish.   You will be able to sculpt a handle of your choice as well as have access to my underglaze transfers, underglazes, stamps etc.
 
This workshop will be broken into two sections.   The morning session we will make the butter dish form and leave it to set up.  We will also sculpt your handle.   I will be making a dish at the same time to demo how things are done so no one is left behind.

We will then stop for a lunch break (BYO lunch) before we decorate and finish off your dish.

Clay used is my speckle clay that I use for almost everything.

Price includes all materials and tools needed to make your platter set, sanding and glazing after the bisque fire, 2 x firings in the kiln (bisque and glaze) as well as me glazing it for you.

Your platter will be ready in approx 4 - 6 weeks (mugs need to dry slowly) for pick up.   Please note, I will not be able to ship these so you will need to be able to pick up. 

This is a small class with a maximum of 6 people.   Please be aware, I need a minimum of 4 people booked for this class to go ahead.   If the minimum number is not reached you will be given a full refund. 

Available for ages 15 plus

Please wear clothes you don't mind getting grubby, or bring an apron.   It is advisable to have reasonably short nails when working with clay.  If you do have nails we can work around it but you might find that  you need to clean up the clay a bit more (even small nails will leave marks as we make the items).

Refreshment will be provided but feel free to BYO if you would like a wee dabble during the class.

My address details etc will be sent to you a few days before the workshop so it's easy to find.

**Note** Spaces for workshops are very limited.   If you need to cancel your booking, 7 days is preferred but I will accept up to 72 hours so it gives me enough time to fill your spot/s.   If you simply forget your booking no refund will be given.

Please also be aware that due to the nature of pottery and firing x 2 means that sometimes things don't work out as they should.  I dry mugs super slowly but sometimes cracks etc still form.   It happens, it still happens to me and any potter you talk too will say the same.   I will do my utmost best and handle all your mugs with care but please be aware due to the nature of the craft there may be a breakage.   I really hope not, but sometimes it just happens.
