Make a Spaghetti Bowl – Use Leaves or Texture

This is a beginner class – no experience needed!  All ages over 12 years welcome! (Younger children should be accompanied) Even if you are experienced, though, this will still be a great class!

Join us on October 3 and 10 from 4 – 6  pm to make a bowl, decorated with leaves!  This bowl, which is about 10 inches wide, and is oven and dishwasher safe, microwavable and food safe. It is deep, making it a good spaghetti bowl. If you don’t want to use leaves, you could use any of the 20 rolling pins of the studio to make a texture. Pictured below is the mushroom rolling pin. 

During this 2 day workshop you will be led through the steps to make your very own bowl.  The first day, which will take about 1 hour,  we will make the bowl. The bowl is made from a slab of clay, molded, and then finished on the wheel. Once the bowl is made, you can finish it any way you want. A number of different methods of decorating  will be covered, including use of texture, or using leaves.   The focus will be on using leaves,  though you can finish it as you like. The second scheduled day, you will glaze the bowl. Two different methods of glazing will be covered – the first you wipe back the glaze, highlighting the “fossil” left by the  leaf, the second, you can paint each individual leaf. Depending on which method you choose, the second class could take an hour to 2 hours. Your plate will be ready for you to take home within 3 weeks of you finishing it. 

The workshop will take place October 3 and 10  from 4 – 6   pm. 

The class is limited to 6 people.
