Ceramic Trinket Trays
with Jen Pilon
AX Workshop Room | 12 Maple Ave.
Thursday, December 3 | 6-830pm
$75 per person | Ages 14+
In this 3-hour workshop, participants will design and build their own ceramic tray. Perfect for a charcuterie board, cheeseboard or trinkets and treasures.
Participants will learn the basics of hand-building with clay using slab construction methods. This workshop will introduce a variety of surface design and carving techniques to create contrasting textures throughout the tray. Students can choose the shape, wall and handle design.
Students are encouraged to create their own shape, as long as the finished design fits within an 8″ × 10″ space.
This beginner-friendly workshop combines foundational basics with creative design exploration, so each participant leaves with a unique, one-of-a-kind piece.
**This piece will be speckled clay and clear glaze only.
