Slump Bowl Workshop

​ Creativity will be flowing as you transform a slab of clay into a unique artsy bowl in this two-session hand-building workshop. Learn how to roll and cut slabs, incorporate texture into your decoration, and use an everyday object as a slump or hump mold (gently convincing a flat piece of clay to become rounded). You will also learn about “foot rings” and be challenged to create one for your bowl. A rainbow of color choices from our food safe lead-free glazes awaits your finishing touch.

You will also explore glazing techniques and choose from a variety of lead-free glazes to finish your piece.
