Ceramics Workshop

With guidance by local ceramicist Emily Casella, you will hand-make a ceramic dish from start to finish, including glazing.

Welcoming the new growth of Spring, participants will have the opportunity to create dishes which can be decorated with texture prints such as feathers, sticks, petals, shells and leaves.

Once you’ve completed your artwork, it will be fired off-site and be available to pick up at the Railway Opening May 2, 2026!

Meet at the Depot.
