About the class

Ambler Cafe Summer Series

Grab the mates, lover or co-worker and join us in our pop up studio at Ambler cafe for our handmade platter class. Take two hours out of your day and get set for summer dinning with a fancy pants platter made by you in our Coastal clay.

Perfect for those with no experience that want a unique experience. We provide you with everything, all you need to do, is turn up. This epic class takes around 1.5-2 hours, during this time you will make your very own Boring platter and a few condiment dishes for those yummy sauces and dips. Included in the price is a non-alcoholic drink each, your handmade platter and small dishes. All work will all be fired and ready for collection from our studio, approximately 8 weeks later. Please note, no items will be ready before Christmas. Pick up will be available from February 1st. February workshops ceramics will be ready for collection 8 weeks after the class

The class gives you the chance to learn the very basics of Hand-building in a fun and relaxed environment. You will be guided through the entire process, where you can relax, get creative and get messy. Come on your own or with friends, this is an open, friendly environment.

Please note, tickets are non-refundable. Treat this booking the same as purchasing concert or movie tickets. If you are not able to make the class on the night, we will provide you with an Author at Home clay kit so you can complete the class at home when you are able to.
