Come and hand-build your very own ceramic butter dish from scratch! Create a beautiful, functional piece that you'll be proud to display on your kitchen bench. You'll have access to all of our signature stamps, including our sea life, bee and floral, cowgirl and cactus collections, plus our famous coral textures and decorative techniques. Whether you have a clear vision or need a little inspiration, we'll guide you every step of the way.
Open sessions are fully guided by us for the duration of the workshop.
