3/20 - Paint a Set of Plates

Thursday, March 20, 2025
6:30 - 8:30 PM

The Local Hand
1912B Dorchester Ave,
Boston, MA 02124 

Paint your own pottery at The Local Hand!  You will have the opportunity to paint your own set of small plates -- perfect for salad, dessert, snacks, or to hold your favorite jewelry.

Carmen will provide tips and tricks for painting pottery, and then leave you free to explore your own creative devices.  She will also provide one-on-one instruction where desired, as well as inspiration photos to help get you started.

After the class, Carmen will fire your pieces, and you will be able to pick them up at The Local Hand in April.  (We can also ship to you if that's preferred!)

You can choose between painting 2 or 4 plates.  We recommend painting 2 if you are planning to do a more intricate design, or 4 plates if you are looking to do something simpler.

Light refreshments will be provided. 

All workshop participants will also receive 10% off any retail purchases they make on the day of the class. 

Join us for this lovely evening filled with creativity, good company, and yummy treats.  

About your Instructor: Carmen Michel (Carmiclay) is the talented artist behind our wildly popular mugs. Carmen’s pottery is made with the intention for it to be used everyday -- durable, food safe, and made with lead-free glaze. But most importantly, it’s handmade. She “creates families, not clones.” Each piece varies slightly, only adding to their charm.  Carmen lives and works in Worcester, MA.
