Tell your story through clay! Join Fabode Ceramics in Edinburgh for a creative pottery workshop where you'll make your own Story Bowl.

Create Your Own Story Bowl – A Creative Pottery Workshop in Edinburgh

We all have a story to tell… What story would you tell in clay? 🦊🌙

Join Marta at Fabode Ceramics for a wonderfully imaginative pottery workshop where you'll create your very own Story Bowl, filled with little characters, meaningful memories and handmade details that bring your story to life.

Marta's own Story Bowl features foxes, a little blue cottage and a moon peeking out above the trees. But yours could tell an entirely different story!

Perhaps you'll create a favourite childhood memory, a magical woodland scene, your family and pets, a special holiday, or a world that exists only in your imagination.

What will you create?

You'll begin by making small, three-dimensional clay characters and decorative elements that represent your story.

There will be plenty of cookie cutters to help you create simple shapes, or you can draw your own characters and use your sketches as templates. Marta will guide you through shaping, adding texture and carefully attaching your figures to your bowl.

Your finished piece will be completely personal to you — a little story captured forever in ceramics!

No pottery experience needed!

This is a relaxed, friendly and creative workshop suitable for beginners. Bring along a photograph, a sketch or simply your imagination.

All materials, tools, tuition and the first kiln firing are included.

What happens after the workshop?

Your Story Bowl will be left at the studio to dry and undergo its first kiln firing.

You'll then return for a separate Illustrate or Glaze Your Own Pottery session, where you can add beautiful colours and bring your characters to life. After a second firing, your finished bowl will be ready to collect.

Please note that the decorating session must be booked separately and is not included in the making workshop price.

📍 Location: Fabode Ceramics, 11 New Lairdship Yards, Edinburgh EH11 3UY

👥 Group size: Maximum 8 participants

👧 Age: 10 years and over

The size and complexity of your bowl will depend on how quickly you work during the session.

Whether you're making something meaningful for yourself or creating a heartfelt handmade gift, your Story Bowl will be a one-of-a-kind piece filled with personality, imagination and memories.

Every bowl tells a story. What will yours say?
