What if we told you, you can make the plate you're going to have nature as an integral part of it! An amazing piece that you can behold and take home with inlays done with pressed flowers, leaves and more. Work with Stoneware (ceramic clay) and we will press flowers and create beautiful impressions. We will then wait for the bone dry stage to use glazes and colour our plates.
Pottery is an exciting art form that doesn't require any artistic talent or experience. Just feel your hands move on clay, work oon your hand-building skills and have your creation fired so you can to collect 3 weeks later.
