Beginner Level 1 | One guided session
Make a matching set with your own marks.
Hand build a plate or spoon rest and a coordinating spoon, then personalize both pieces with texture, pattern, colour or hand drawn details. No previous pottery experience is needed.
From clay to a handmade serving set.
Katie guides you through both pieces step by step, with room to choose the shape, surface and decorative details.
Build the base
Use slab-building techniques to shape a plate or spoon rest with a clean, useful form.
Form the spoon
Shape the spoon bowl and handle so it feels comfortable and coordinates with your first piece.
Make the set yours
Add texture, pattern, colour or hand drawn details across both pieces.
We finish it for you
NewMakeIt applies a clear food-safe glaze and fires your pieces for pickup in approximately two weeks.
