Description
Join Karin for a fun and informative hand-building workshop where you will make your very own teapot! Our first session will include a short demo, followed by rolling out the clay slab and creating your shape. Then, during our second session we will smooth and refine the shape, adding handles and a spout. Your teapots will then be dried and bisque fired in our kiln – ready for decorating with glaze the following weekend!
Open to all levels – beginners welcome.
Materials will be supplied for this workshop (includes clay and glazes).
