Make Your Own Snack Plate 🍓🫒
Upcoming Dates:
The kind of plate that somehow ends up being used for everything.
Pile it with cheese and crackers, fruit, olives and dips, a little lunch, dessert, or whatever assortment sounds good that day. In this workshop, you’ll handbuild a generously sized ceramic plate made for snacky dinners, casual hosting, and those “a little bit of everything” meals we love.
Instead of forcing it onto a regular plate (that frankly doesn’t understand the assignment), you’re going to make one that does.
In this 2.5-hour handbuilding workshop, you’ll create a ceramic snack plate designed exactly for you. Using slab-building techniques, you’ll shape clay into a plate with soft sections and subtle dividers, creating a piece that feels thoughtful, functional, and completely your own.
Think snack plate, appetizer plate, or personal serving plate, with just enough room for all the important little things.
This class is relaxed, beginner-friendly, and centered around slowing down and making something you’ll actually use at home. No pottery experience needed.
What You’ll Do
✨ Shape Your Sections
Use your hands and simple tools to mold and maneuver the clay into as many compartments as you want. Big cheese corner? Tiny olive pocket? A dramatic dip well? You decide.
✨ Add Personality
Carve little words, add texture, create wiggly edges, stamp patterns, or use colorful underglazes to add small illustrations, playful borders, or pops of pattern. This is where you can make it feel completely like your version of girl dinner.
✨ Choose Your Glaze Vibe
You’ll select your glaze color, then we’ll handle the glazing and firing for you. Your finished plate will be food-safe and ready for your next snack night.
