Let’s make Cat Plates!

Use them for trinkets, treats, salt, soy sauce or whatever.

Come join me at Mandy Greer Studio in Columbia City for a clay handbuilding workshop, perfect for beginners to clay, but also an enjoyable project for those with some clay experience.

I'll have templates on hand for you to make your shapes, or you can draw your own. We'll be learning the slab and slump method, and embellshing using the sgraffito technique.

You can make as many plates as you want during class time. I estimate you should be able to make 3-4 depending on the sizes you choose. After the pieces are bisque fired, I'll be glazing for you with a matte clear, and firing them to a stoneware cone 6, so they'd be food safe and dishwasher safe.

The plates will be ready to pick up at the studio 2-3 weeks after the class.
