Love making your own dressings and marinades but sick of chopping that sticky garlic and those finicky herbs? Grater bowls come equipped with a garlic grater, herb stripper, and a convenient spout. Local artist and pottery maverick, Mitch Segall, offers a unique opportunity to learn ceramic bowl crafting with some special tools built in that’ll make your time in the kitchen fun and easy. 

During this two-part workshop, you’ll learn all about handbuilding and glazing stoneware. By the end of class, you’ll understand how to properly coil build with clay so that the resulting piece is structurally sound. You'll also learn how to imprint textures and add shapes to create something entirely unique.

When you return for the second date, you'll learn how to apply glaze to your bisque fired Dressing Bowl using a variety of glazing techniques.
