Thanks to a suggestion from a lovely local business owner I’ve attempted my first berry bowl!
Spending the afternoon with wonderful local female business owners and getting guidance was such an energising experience I’ve thrown a bunch getting home and getting my ideas in the wheel!

Still learning and taking classes as we are all students in life, but with the help of one of my amazing teachers I threw a big beautiful salad bowl, will trim and hopefully be able to make more to sell on the site and markets this coming July!

Who doesn’t love a chip and dip bowl! In a rustic white glaze, it’s big and beautiful and a great center piece for guacamole and nachos or your favourite dip and cut veggies.
