Have your cake and serve it too! In this ceramics class we will utilize both wheel-thrown and hand-building techniques to design both cookie and cake stands (single and multi-tiered) with matching dessert plates. We will work with assembly as well as single piece construction to create a beautiful setting for your tea and dessert service.
This workshop is comprised of 7 working sessions (3hrs) PLUS one final pick-up day (1hr) on March 25th. We will be using red stoneware clay.
Students should bring:
- Apron
- Hand towel
