Give your favorite furry friend a bowl that’s as unique as they are! In this hands-on handbuilding class, you’ll create a personalized slow feeder bowl designed for your dog or cat.

You’ll learn the basics of handbuilding with clay as you shape your bowl and create raised sections inside to help slow down mealtime. Once your bowl is built, you’ll have the opportunity to personalize it with your pet’s name using underglaze. We’ll finish our pieces using Stroke & Coat glazes, giving your bowl a colorful, playful finish.

Whether your pet is a speed-eating champion or you just want to spoil them with something handmade, this class is the perfect opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind piece made just for them!

No previous clay experience is necessary, just bring your creativity and your pet’s name!

She’s passionate about making art approachable, joyful, and just the right amount of strange.
