Drop In Sunday – Leaf Bowl

Sunday, July 14, we will be making a ceramic bowl from a large  leaf. There will be burdock, catalpa, and hosta eaves available to choose from. Use it as a trinket dish, or to eat out of. The pictured holds smaller dishes that could be used to hold butter, or as chop stick holders.

You will be provided with a slab of clay, about 8 x 11. You can choose a leaf that will be provided, or bring your own, but do not bring a leaf bigger than 11 inches. You will roll your leaf into the clay, in effect creating a fossil of the leaf. You will then drape your leaf over a form creating a bowl shape. With the left over clay, you can make smaller leaves as shown. (Only those items that keep with the theme will be fired)

The cost is $15. 

Come back in two weeks to glaze your bowl. You will be provided with our full palette of underglazes, which are best to highlight the veins of the leaf, or use one of our studio greens or brown glazes.

Your leaf bowl will be ready for pick up  within 3 weeks from glazing. This is the project for Sunday 7/14. The drop in workshop is offered from 2  – 4 pm.  It will probably take you about half an hour to make the bowl. You can come any time between those hours – just plan on half an hour to make the bowl. A different project will be offered every weekend. Once glazed and fired the pots will be dishwasher safe, microwaveable and oven proof.
