Event Overview

Skill level: Beginner - no experience necessary

Learn the basics of pottery by making ceramic dishes using slab building techniques and regular tools that can be found at almost any general goods store.

Students will learn how to roll out a slab of clay by hand, cut the clay into small dish sized shapes, and then stamp a texture, personal message, date, or other saying onto the dish.

These little dishes are perfect to store jewelry, to use as tea bag holders, to use as a candle holder, to mark an important date and more.

Each student will make up to 4 dishes.

Participants will pick up their finished work at River North Workshop two weeks after the workshop.

This quick intro to clay class run approximately 2 hours from 4:30 - 6:40 pm - perfect before heading out to happy hour or dinner on Saturday night.

★Bonus! - Continental Clay is a sponsor for my first two Dabble classes and has generously donated a 25 pound bag of clay that 1 lucky person will receive in this class in a draw.
