Join local artist Helen Cattell of Good Hope Pottery for a hands-on workshop where you’ll create a decorative clay platter, all within the beautiful setting of the Tootsie Gallery Cafe. Helen will guide you through the process of forming your platter by hand using stoneware clay, then show you how to enhance the surface with texture, stamps, and glaze transfers to create rich, layered designs. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to deepen your skills, this workshop offers a relaxed and engaging way to explore surface decoration and creative expression in clay.
After forming your platter, you’ll begin by applying three coats of underglaze, selecting from a vibrant palette of colours to create your base. Once the surface is coated, you’ll add texture and design elements using stamps, tools, and glaze transfers—allowing your creativity to shine through in every detail.
When the workshop is complete, the platters will be left to dry for a couple of days.
