Design and hand-build your own functional and decorative ceramic yarn bowl in this beginner-friendly workshop. Using slab-building techniques, you’ll construct a custom bowl designed to keep yarn neatly in place while you work.

Under the guidance of an instructor, you’ll learn how to roll and shape clay slabs, join seams, and form a sturdy base. Once assembled, you’ll add your personal touch through carved or sculpted details—turning your piece into a one-of-a-kind creation that’s as beautiful as it is useful.

Whether you’re a ceramic enthusiast or a fiber artist looking to craft your own studio companion, this hands-on session offers a fun introduction to clay construction and surface design. All materials and tools are provided.

Finished pieces will be fired and ready for pickup at a later date.

Baskets were essential in the colonial period for gathering, marketing, and everyday household tasks; an indispensable tool in both town and farm life. Participants in this hands-on workshop will create a small market basket using traditional techniques. Working over a wooden mold, each basket will be woven from natural reed and finished with sturdy oak handles and pre-bent reed rims. 

Students will learn to prepare their material, lay out their base, weave the sides of the basket, attach the rims and handles and lash the basket.  

All tools and materials will be supplied by the instructor.  Please bring an apron or towel since we work wet!

Dimensions:   9” x 13” x 11”
