Pottery - Herbs & Berries | Saturday 28th February - 10am till 1pm
Handmade Herb Stripper & Mini Berry Colander
Join us for this fun and functional pottery workshop and craft two beautiful, essential pieces for your kitchen! Using the thumb or pinch pot technique, you will learn how to
transform simple clay spheres into useful, custom-designed tools.
The Herb Stripper Bowl: You’ll make a small bowl featuring holes of varying sizes
on one side. This ingenious piece allows you to pull the stem of fresh herbs through,
effortlessly stripping the leaves directly into the bowl - perfect for cooking!
The Mini Berry Colander: Create a small, charming colander ideal for washing and
preparing soft fruits like strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries. Get creative and choose your colander shape! You can opt for a traditional round colander or sculpt it into a fun, themed shape, like a strawberry or another fruit of your choosing. Personalize your colander by designing your own unique patterns of holes to let the water run through.
Glaze Choice: Finish both items by selecting from a beautiful range of available
glaze colours.
This class is perfect for beginners and those looking to build on core pottery
techniques.
Please note: as we will be using a thumb or pinch pot technique this
workshop is easier with shorter fingernails.
