Potluck Provisions: Equinox Feast (2)
Intermediate
Service Description
This class is held at our Potrero Hill Studio Tableware Mondays @ 5:45-8:15PM February 16th-March 23rd Class Description: Get ready for post frost feasts by making your own vernal inspired table set. This intermediate-level class will focus on wheel-thrown forms with some handbuilding techniques mixed in. We’ll make pieces meant for sharing — serving bowls, platters, carafes, casseroles — plus smaller details like napkin rings, butter bells, and bud vases. Demos will cover altering forms, creating pouring vessels, surface decoration, and glazing with a seasonal palette in mind.
