Transform raw clay into a custom ceramic serving set designed for your next hosting night. In this hands-on pottery workshop in Manchester at Makers Quarter, you will learn tactile hand-building techniques to craft a bespoke deli platter alongside matching tapas dishes and dip bowls—no pottery wheel required.
Absolute beginners welcome -- no prior pottery experience required. You'll make your own large deli platter using slab-building methods, and two tapas dishes and dip bowls using pinch and coil techniques.
What you’ll learn:
  • Slab rolling and forming: How to work with soft clay sheets to create flatware that won't warp during firing.
  • Texturing and detailing: Incorporating organic textures, stamps, or smooth minimal rims to match your aesthetic.
  • Finishing touches: Refining edges, adding details.
Your food-safe, dishwasher-friendly set will be ready for pickup 6-8 weeks after the class. Grab a seat, roll up your sleeves, and design a functional serving collection built to last for years of dinner parties!
