About the event
Create something beautiful and useful from a simple lump of clay! In this hands-on clay handbuilding workshop, guests will learn how to build their own berry washing bowl, perfect for rinsing and serving fresh berries or other small fruits.
During the workshop, our instructors will guide you through the handbuilding process, teaching you the techniques you need to shape and assemble your project. You'll get to work directly with clay and create a piece that's both functional and uniquely yours.
Once your bowl has been built, we'll take care of the drying and bisque-firing process. When your piece is ready, you'll be able to come back during regular studio hours to paint it however you'd like! Choose your favorite colors, add your own designs, and make your berry washing bowl completely your own.
