Private Platter Workshop

Gather your favorite people and enjoy the studio all to yourselves for a private Platter Workshop at Lovelight Handmade!

During this beginner-friendly pottery class, you and your guests will each create a beautiful 15-inch ceramic platter completely by hand. We'll guide you through the hand-building process, from shaping and forming your platter to adding the finishing details that make it your own.

Keep your platter simple and timeless or customize it with textures, stamps, and other details. Once your piece is finished, you'll select a glaze from our studio glaze library and we'll take care of glazing and firing it for you.

No pottery experience necessary — we'll guide your group through the entire process!

Private workshops are perfect for birthdays, bachelorettes, team outings, family gatherings, date nights, or simply getting a group of friends together to make something by hand.
