Salad Bowl Pottery Workshop Thurs April 3

Create your own beautiful handmade ceramic salad bowl in this small group pottery workshop with Auckland artist and gardener Fiona Henderson. This practical hands-on class is suitable for beginners as Fiona will show you how to roll, shape and work with clay to create the perfect sized bowl for your homegrown salads or side dishes. 

Everything you need is included - and we'll keep you refreshed with drinks and nibbles to keep your creative juices flowing. 

Fiona artily decorates her bowls with garden flowers and herbs imprinted into the clay, so you can wander around the garden at Sweetgum Cottage in search of inspiration before the class starts, or you can use her range of stamps and stencils to personalise your bowl with your favourite saying or salad dressing recipe. 

Fiona will then take your bowl back to her studio to dry, fire, paint and glaze and you'll be notified when it's ready for collection. When you return to the cottage to pick it up, you can even fill it with fresh salad ingredients from Lynda's organic vegetable garden! 

Where: Sweetgum Cottage & Garden, 2495 Hunua Rd, Hunua (beside Camp Adair)

When: Thursday April 3 from 6pm
