Chip and Dip Bowl
Course Description
In this class you'll create a unique chip and dip bowl using the slab building technique. You'll craft one large bowl and a smaller central bowl, which will be joined together and then decorated with vibrant underglazes. After their first firing, the pieces will be dipped in a shiny clear glaze, which will accentuate the colours in your design, resulting in a stunning and functional piece perfect for sharing snacks with friends!
Important information
What to bring: These sessions aren’t overly messy, but you may wish to bring an apron or wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, just in case! After the Session: Your work will be fired twice: first a bisque firing, followed by a final glaze firing. The clay must be “bone dry” before entering the kiln, and the kiln must be full for each cycle. Generally, your work will be ready for collection within three to four weeks. However, please understand that factors beyond my control (such as cold weather, kiln maintenance, or waiting for a full load) may extend this timeframe. I will contact you as soon as your work is ready to collect. Important note on breakages: While it doesn’t happen often, I cannot guarantee that work won’t crack during the drying process or inside the kiln. This is an inherent risk of pottery that can affect beginners and experts alike. I cannot offer refunds for work that breaks in the kiln or is damaged while awaiting collection. Collection: All finished work must be collected within two weeks of receiving your “ready for collection” email. Due to very limited storage space and the risk of damage on busy shelves, I cannot hold items beyond this period.
