Have you ever heard of a French Butter Bell?
This clever little ceramic creation is a traditional French way of keeping butter fresh, soft and spreadable without having to store it in the fridge!
Join us at Umhlaba Pottery Studio for a fun, hands-on pottery workshop where you’ll learn to make your very own French Butter Bell.
A French Butter Bell consists of two ceramic pieces: a base that holds a little water and a bell-shaped lid that holds the butter. When placed together, the water creates a seal that helps keep your butter fresh and ready to spread.
During this workshop, we’ll guide you through the process of handbuilding both pieces, making sure they fit together, and adding your own personal touches through texture and decoration.
Whether you’re making one for your own kitchen or as a thoughtful handmade gift, this is a lovely opportunity to create something both beautiful and practical.
No previous pottery experience is needed. Beginners are welcome!
Your butter bell will be glazed and fired after the workshop, ready for collection once the ceramic process is complete.
