Platters that Matter | Workshop

Looking to explore your creativity and try your hand at ceramics? Join our platters that matter hand building workshop! Experiment with texture, shape, and color using slab techniques to create your unique and beautiful platters.

Start by wedging the clay to remove air pockets and ensure consistency. Then use a slab roller or hand roll the clay, cut and shape it into your desired form. Decorate the surface using various tools, textures, or glazes. Afterward, let the platters dry and fire them in a kiln to harden and strengthen the clay. Finally, we clear glaze them and fire them again, ready for collection.

Throughout this workshop you will make and decorate two or three small to medium-sized platters perfect for serving cheese or a ploughman’s lunch. Our talented instructor lara thomas will guide and support you throughout the process.

This workshop provides an engaging and fun experience for all, whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned pro. Leave with newfound skills in ceramics.

Book your spot today and unleash your creativity in this platters workshop. Be patient as more work needs to be completed from uxbridge with the firing, taking 3-4 weeks before collection. You’ll receive an email once the kiln has finished its work!

I attended the platter making workshop. It was so wonderful!! We had a great teacher, a really nice group size and heaps of time to make and decorate our platters. I’m excited to pick up my platters once they’ve been fired.

Lara was a great tutor for our ceramics workshop. It was only her first time as a tutor and I thought she did a great job. Excellent instruction without a lot of talking and reading. Just getting onto showing us what to do. A very enjoyable workshop and I cant wait to see the finished product in a few weeks once they have been fired
