Sold Out – Handbuilt Ceramics: Let’s Talk Sets

Handbuilt ceramics explores techniques for creating functional sets like tumblers, stacking dishes, and sugar/creamer pairings. These textured projects make excellent home goods or gifts

In this session, we will consider what makes a set. This will include sets of tumblers, stacking dishes, bowls, sugar and creamer sets, and more. These projects are perfect for your own home or to give as special gifts. As always, we will use texture to enhance our work. Ready, set, play with clay!
