Spring bowl pottery workshop
Bottega Ceramica
Enter our sunlit studio and embrace the season with this Spring Bowl Making Workshop, designed for all skill levels. If you’re eager to dip your fingers into the world of ceramics and seek a mindful, creative experience, this workshop is an ideal opportunity to take a break and create something truly special. A skilled instructor will guide you through traditional hand-building techniques, teaching you how to shape your bowl using pinching and coiling methods. These tactile processes allow for organic creation, ensuring that each bowl boasts its own distinctive charm and character. Once your bowl takes shape, explore various decorative techniques to personalise your piece. Carve patterns, sculpt details, and add textures that reflect your style, whether minimalistic or playful and expressive. Complete your creation by decorating it with a palette of colourful slips. Experiment with brushes and sponges to apply soft spring hues, striking colour combinations, or intricate patterns that bring your design to life. After the workshop, leave your bowl at the studio to dry for bisque firing. It will then be glazed and fired again to ensure a durable, food-safe finish. Your unique piece will be ready for collection in a few weeks—perfect for serving, decor, or as a thoughtful handmade gift. All materials and tools are provided, and no prior experience is required. Simply sign up and enjoy the creative flow! Price: 30£ Saturday May 2 and Saturday May 9 (check booking link for availability)

The Board is committed to diversity, inclusion, and representation, and is seeking dynamic Co-Chairs, or a single Chair, to help guide PiPA’s next phase of growth.
