Wavy Charcuterie Set - New Pottery Class Sheffield
If you’re looking for a creative escape, a way to slow down, and an opportunity to make something truly beautiful with your own hands, I have exciting news: Andrew Walker Ceramics has just launched a new hand-building pottery workshop - Wavy Charcuterie Set.
Why this class is special?
Pottery classes often focus on the wheel or generic forms, but this workshop gives you a chance to create something both artistic and functional — a bespoke serving set with personality. In just 4 hours over 2 sessions, you’ll hand-build: One large charcuterie board, two small snack plates and three cheese markers.
You’ll learn how to roll, shape, and form clay into organic, wavy forms — giving your pieces a natural, flowing aesthetic.
You get to choose from a palette of interesting glazes for finishing your work and all materials, firing, and kiln costs are included in the fee — no hidden extras.
The class is kept small (maximum 6 students), so you’ll receive hands-on guidance and space to experiment.
In short: you walk away not only with the experience of shaping clay, but with a unique, handmade serving set you can use and show off.
What you’ll learn (and why it matters)
Here are some of the skills and insights you’ll develop in this class:
Clay handling & forming - You’ll get comfortable manipulating clay by hand — smoothing edges, creating subtle curves, and balancing form with function.
Design thinking for tableware - The wavy edges aren’t just aesthetic — they can help compartmentalise food, guide guest movement around a board, and introduce visual interest.
Glazing choices & effects - You’ll understand how a glaze’s colour, transparency, and texture can transform your piece — sometimes in surprising ways.
When, where & how much?
Here are the logistics, so you can see whether this class fits your schedule:
Cost: £85.00
Duration & structure: 2 sessions (2 hrs + 2 hrs), held over two consecutive weeks

Who it’s for? (and who should give it a try)
This class is designed to be accessible, but also rewarding — ideal for:
Beginners who are curious about pottery but hesitant about the wheel
Intermediate crafters who already understand clay and want to explore more decorative, sculptural tableware
People who love entertaining and want to put a personal stamp on their serving ware
Thoughtful gift-givers who might want to take the class and produce something meaningful for a partner, friend or family member
If you’ve ever wanted to connect your hands, your mind, and your sense of style in creating something tangible and beautiful, this “Wavy Charcuterie Set” class is a brilliant opportunity. It marries function and art, offers guided support, and gives you a finished piece you’ll be proud to use.
