Beginner Level 1 | One guided session
Build a serving piece worth gathering around.
Create a handmade ceramic cheese board with small dipping bowls, then shape and decorate the set with your own texture, pattern, colour or hand drawn details.
From clay to ceramic cheese board.
Katie guides you through each slab-building step and helps you create a functional serving piece with coordinated dipping bowls.
Build the board
Use slab-building techniques to create the main serving surface and refine its edges.
Make the dipping bowls
Shape small bowls that coordinate with the board and suit the way you plan to serve.
Decorate the set
Add texture, pattern, colour or hand drawn details across each piece.
We finish it for you
NewMakeIt applies a clear food-safe glaze and fires the set for pickup in approximately two weeks.
