4-WEEK HAND BUILDING WORKSHOP
BEGINNER/INTERMEDIATE
SEPTEMBER 16
OCTOBER 7
Tuesdays | 5:30 pm - 8 pm
$400 (workshop) + $125 (dinner at Eliza)
Ever find yourself at a restaurant turning a plate over to see who made it? Ever wished the name on the bottom was yours? This workshop turns that curiosity into a real, delicious outcome.
Over four Tuesday evenings, you’ll design and make a small set of dinner plates—then celebrate with a dinner at Eliza Bistro, where your meal will be served on the very pieces you created. It’s a quietly joyful blend of studio practice and shared table.
Across four weeks, you’ll move from idea to finished, food-safe plates. You’ll learn how to plan a cohesive set, build consistent forms, refine rims and foot rings, and glaze with function in mind—so your plates look beautiful and work beautifully.
After the dinner, your set will be ready for pickup so you can keep enjoying it at home.
