Make stamped dishes for your altar, your space, or someone you love. No experience needed.About this EventSlow down. Make something with your hands.In this two-hour workshop, you’ll make three small ceramic pieces/sets designed to anchor your altar, be your catch-all, or assist in your daily rituals — a set of stamped dishes, a few pendants to wear or gift, and a small vessel of your choosing. Each piece is yours from the first pinch of clay to the final glaze color — because the best objects in our lives are the ones we made ourselves.I’ll guide you through traditional hand-building techniques with botanical, celestial, and geometric stamps available to make each piece your own. Pieces will be fired, and you’ll choose your glaze from a curated palette before I finish and return them to you. Bonus option: You can add 18kt gold luster to your piece! This requires an extra firing and an additional fee. Just select the Extra Sparkle option at checkout!Whether you’ve never touched clay before or you’re returning to a craft you love, this is a space to put your phone down, get your hands dirty, and walk away with three small treasures you made yourself.What You’ll MakeA set of stamped dishes— for your rings, your altar, or your everyday small thingsA few pendants — to wear, to gift, or to hang in your spaceA small vessel — your choice of form, for flowers, matches, incense, or whatever feels rightWhat’s IncludedAll clay, tools, and materialsBisque firing, glazing in your chosen color, and final firingA welcome setup with refreshmentsGuided instruction in a small, intimate groupFinished pieces ready for pickup approximately four weeks after the workshopNote: Gold luster pieces ready in five weeksBONUS!
