We're thrilled to welcome Kat Pino for a half-day masterclass happening Saturday 18th July from 11-14:30, dedicated entirely to one of the most rewarding and notoriously challenging shapes in ceramics: the plate.

Flatware demands a different kind of throwing. Spreading a large mass of clay across the wheel requires specific technique, precise body mechanics, and a thorough understanding of how clay behaves under centrifugal force. In this session, Kat demystifies the process and gives you the knowledge and hands-on practice to throw plates with confidence.

What You'll Learn

Through demonstration, discussion, and time at the wheel, the masterclass will cover:

  • Throwing technique: how to flatten clay efficiently, harness the wheel's centrifugal force, and maintain control throughout.
  • What makes a good plate: design principles, proportion, and what working chefs and restaurants actually look for.
  • Common pitfalls: understanding the infamous S-crack, why it happens, and how to prevent it.
  • Compression & drying: why these are critical to a successful plate, and how to get them right.
  • Trimming: a full trimming demonstration to complete the form
  • Advanced tips: Kat's own techniques for achieving clean, contemporary-style plate. 

This masterclass is designed for Level 2 students who are comfortable centring 2kg of clay on the wheel and ready to push their practice further. This masterclass also includes a 2/5hr glaze class on the 15th August at 5pm where you will glaze the pieces you made during the masterclass.

Long lasting and fun
This toy has lasted longer than other octopus toys I've bought in the past. Even if a leg or two is ripped off, it still holds on.

Awesome product, but NOT sturdy
My dog LOVED this product, but unfortunately the head came off in less than a week.

Glad this toy is back
Large soft dog toy. I have been trying to buy this item for years. It apparently was discontinued, but it finally has been replaced with an even better, more durable product. I have two large chocolate labs and they have yet to gut it. It is reasonable durable, but I suppose a determined dog could eventually rip into it. I will definitely again. Large grunting noise maker in the body, and small squeakers in the arms.

Fantastic octopus
Color: Blue
This toy is everything for my 15 lb schnauzer. Tons of crinkles in each of 8 legs and squeezes easily at head. He has over 75 toys and is one of his top 5 toys now. Great size not too big. Dog see blue and yellow so a plus. Rest of colors to them are shades of black, greys and to white.

Cute and fun!
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
This was exactly as described! The head has a squeaky and the legs crinkle. I have a small dog who does not destroy her toys so I think this will last a long time. So far—she loves it!!
