Celebrate the beauty of the season by creating your own hand-built ceramic dinnerware inspired by winter’s natural textures.
Using clay slabs, students will design functional pieces such as plates, platters, or mugs, and press in botanical impressions from pinecones, evergreens, cedar, and other winter foliage.
With a focus on composition, balance, and texture, you’ll explore how to highlight these organic patterns using underglaze painting and layering techniques that make each detail pop.
Finished pieces will be bisque- and glaze-fired to create functional, food-safe works of art — perfect for gifting or adding a handmade touch to your holiday table.
