Slab-Built Dessert Plates Workshop with Ros
Overview
Tuesday 8/12, 6-8pm
Ages 16 and up are welcome
Cost: $50 + $5 materials (all materials are included)
Beginners and returners welcome!
In this fun, all-levels pottery class, we will make snack and dessert plates with textured clay slabs and press molds. This hand building technique is quick to learn, and accessible to beginners and experienced clay-folks alike. Each participant will be able to make 2-3 dishes.
You’ll choose your glaze for each piece, and the finished dishes will be available several weeks later at Friendly City Clay & Art Center for pick up.

About the Instructor
Ros O’Brien is an artist and studio potter who makes nature-inspired pottery from her home studio in Harrisonburg, VA. She works primarily with textured soft slabs, although her work sometimes incorporates thrown, pinched, or coiled components. Ros is endlessly curious, and has studied a diverse range of ceramic techniques with artists and potters around the globe, including Gail Kendall, Lauren Karle, Bill Griffith, and Ellen Shankin, and she was in the 2020 cohort of Naomi Clement’s Finding Your Voice Mentorship Program. Ros loves teaching, from beginner to advanced handbuilding. She loves to see people come together and learn about each other and themselves through clay, and enjoys the creative and unique ways her students come up with to use classic techniques. She is an instructor at the John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina, and the owner of Friendly City Clay & Art Center in Harrisonburg, VA, where she teaches handbuilding.
